On the eve of the new Millennium, one of the world's most popular singers, Andrea Bocelli, returns to Rome for a concert of favorite sacred arias. Bocelli chose to perform this program in Rome in honor of Jubilee 2000, marking the anniversary of Christ's birth. His choice of music captures not only the thrilling display of operatic arias but also the composers' deepest spiritual feelings
