Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli will kick of his next world tour on Feb. 7, 2026, in Columbus.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 17, through andreabocelli.com for his “Romanza-30th Anniversary World Tour.” His February 2026 performance at the Schottenstein Center will be the first of seven North American dates.
“Romanza” sold 20 million copies in 1997 and was considered Bocelli’s breakthrough album. The best-selling Italian-language album in history, it’s a compilation that leads off with his solo rendition of “Con Te Partirò” and ends with “Time to Say Goodbye,” the partly English version he recorded with Sarah Brightman.
Bocelli has performed in Columbus three other times since 2011. This will be his first concert here since 2022.
