I have always been a fan but never knew the story behind the voice!!! I'm so very glad Mr. Bocelli didn't give up when things became difficult! The world would have missed knowing one of the greatest voices ever!!! It's interesting how, when his various situations seemed dark & difficult to bear, our loving Heavenly Father provided greater & greater blessings as time went on & on! This should be a lesson for us all: When we do all that we can possibly do to help ourselves and still can't seem to realize our dream, pray & have faith! Heavenly Father will see it through!!!!!

The Music of Silence
https://youtu.be/FkdZPClCfEY?si=mKS9BVz_qlnxoVOe
“Singers, before a performance, must remain in a condition of the most absolute silence. It’s a difficult thing to achieve. But when you have learned how not to need words, you will sense the sound of your own breath, of the movement of your muscles, and even the movement of a single hair on your head, ruffled by the wind.” Scripts+1
“You have a great advantage, you’re already familiar with sounds, they guide your steps through life. But the music of silence will be your guide through the interior of yourself. And that, which you discover, you will express through the beautiful perfection of song.” The Dragon Lady Files+3Scripts+3Entertainment Tonight+3
“The secret is never to lose faith, to have confidence in God’s plan for us … If you learn to listen, you will find that each life speaks to us of love.”

From the script:
“[male narrator] Dear Veronica, this is the story of a boy called Amos, whom I’ve known intimately all my life. Amos Bardi. … If at my birth they’d have let me choose for myself, I’d have chosen that one. Why Bardi? Because I like the name.”

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli was born in Tuscany, Italy, not Spain. He became completely blind as a boy following a football accident and later trained with the renowned Italian tenor Franco Corelli, not a Spanish coach.
Andrea Bocelli's blindness
- Bocelli was born in 1958 with congenital glaucoma, which left him with very limited sight.
- At age 12, a football (soccer) accident caused a brain hemorrhage that took his remaining vision, leaving him completely blind.
Bocelli's musical journey
- He started taking piano lessons at age six and later learned to play other instruments.
- He studied law at the University of Pisa and played piano bars at night to pay for his lessons.
- While pursuing a legal career, he continued to train his voice, studying with the legendary Italian tenor Franco Corelli.
- Corelli was a major inspiration for Bocelli, who later became a superstar after being discovered by rock singer Zucchero Fornaciari and mentored by Luciano Pavarotti.
Antonio Banderas's role
The confusion about a Spanish coach may stem from the 2017 biographical film The Music of Silence, based on Bocelli's life.
- In the movie, Spanish actor Antonio Banderas plays the role of Bocelli's voice teacher, identified only as "The Maestro".
- Though an actor from Spain played the part, the person he portrayed, Franco Corelli, was Italian.
