Andrea Bocelli
Her career is an unprecedented success story, which began with her victory at the '94 Sanremo Song Contest. A world-renowned artist, he has not only won countless professional awards, but also the love and appreciation of the public. In a career spanning nearly 30 years, he has sung the greatest operatic roles, performed in all the world's major concert halls and opera houses, and conquered the pinnacles of pop music. He has been awarded the Star of the Unheard on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, nominated for six Grammy Awards and a Latin Grammy, and sung for four US Presidents, three Popes and the British Royal Family.

He has worked with such great singers as Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Céline Dion, Tony Bennett, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Garner and Ellie Goulding. She has duetted with her son Matteo on the song "Fall On Me" on his album "Sí" and sang Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah with her daughter Virginia on stage.
In 2021, he performed at the opening ceremony of the Dubai Expo, the opening match of the European Football Championship in Rome, and with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in Central Park. In May 2021, he set himself a new challenge: he travelled more than 350 kilometres on horseback on a pilgrimage from St Peter's Basilica in Rome (with the blessing of Pope Francis) to his hometown of Lajatico in Tuscany. The journey was also the subject of a TV documentary, "The Journey - Andrea Bocelli", which was shown in the spring of 2023.
The legendary voice will be heard at the MVM Dome on 23 November 2024, and will enchant Hungarian audiences. His concert programme will include popular opera songs and songs from his well-known pop albums, and today's most popular tenor will be accompanied by a Hungarian symphony orchestra and choir.
MVM Dome
MVM Dome is the seventh largest indoor event venue in Europe. Its capacity for sports events and concerts is significantly higher than that of the Budapest Sports Arena. It has 20,022 seats; a total of 50,000 square metres of floor space; innovative, rearrangeable spaces for many indoor sports (handball, basketball and volleyball, futsal, ice hockey, tennis, skating) as well as certain athletic, equestrian and motorcycle competitions, and even swimming competitions and water polo matches in the mobile pool. Through the six entrances to the building, spectators can enter the arena’s interior using eight escalators, leading to the walk-through grandstands accessible on three levels. The structure of the building’s exterior is reminiscent of muscle fibres: the light strips placed on the outward-leaning, elliptical sections not only embrace the building, but the light shows, programmed using various colours, appear to set the entire building in motion. There is a 600 square metre display on the façade of the building. The Main Entrance leads to an impressive foyer, where visitors will be greeted by a grandiose hanging light installation of 848 handmade glass tubes. The programmable sports lighting is also suitable for HDTV broadcasts of the highest-level world competitions, as well as for super-slow-motion recordings due to flicker free technology. The lighting system also plays an important role in the events and concerts, as it is suitable for changing the colour temperature of the auditorium, which means that the lighting functions can be changed without rearranging the arena, only through the pre-programmed lighting controls. This design is the first and is unique in Europe for luminaires of this power. A central display (cube) provides information in the auditorium during the events.
