Taking to Instagram to make the announcement, Italian opera singer and songwriter, Andrea Bocelli, recently unveiled an exclusive, ticketed, global live-stream event at Teatro Regio di Parma opera house titled Believe in Christmas. The post further states that the show—which will go live on December 12, 2020, for European nations—has been directed by Belgian theatre director, Franco Dragone who is known for his mesmerising work with Cirque Du Soleil. Asian nations can witness the same on December 13.
