World-famous Bocelli is coming to Hungarian festival for an open-air concert!

The internationally acclaimed singer, Matteo Bocelli, son of Andrea Bocelli, is set to grace Hungary with his performance at an open-air festival in Zala County, near the enchanting Lake Balaton. Taking place on the evening of 29th June (a Saturday), this concert marks Matteo’s debut alongside a symphony orchestra.

According to Egereszegi Hírek, a local news outlet made in Zalaegerszeg, the centre of Zala County, the successful and talented Matteo Bocelli will perform at the Örvényesvölgy Festival this June. Spanning from 28th to 30th June, the highlight will undoubtedly be Matteo’s performance on the 29th evening, set amidst the scenic valley of the region.

The 26-year-old musician and singer performed in some of the most prestigious concert venues in the world, from New York’s Madison Square Garden to the opera houses of Sydney and Dubai. He has even serenaded at the White House in Washington.

Matteo, the son of Andrea Bocelli, the world-famous tenorist, received an exceptional musical education during his childhood. He regularly shared the stage with his father. However, in 2023, he embarked on a solo venture, releasing an album in collaboration with Capitol Records.

Matteo Bocelli worked together with Ed Sheeran

Having begun his musical journey at the age of six, Matteo’s debut onstage at the age of 18 saw him mesmerising audiences with Verdi’s melodies at Rome’s Colosseum. In 2018, he captivated hearts with the touching duet “Fall on Me,” a poignant ode to the bond between father and son, which has garnered over 400 million downloads.

Transitioning towards contemporary pop during his formative years, Matteo found inspiration in the likes of Ed Sheeran. Their collaboration in 2023 birthed his inaugural album, featuring the soul-stirring ballad “Chasing Stars,” a testament to self-acceptance:

Tamás Badacsonyi, the director of the Örvényesvölgy Festival, revealed they had been working on securing Matteo’s concert for years. The singer’s management represents some of the biggest stars in the world, including Madonna, McCartney, Nicky Minaj and Miley Cyrus.

Unlike other big names who had previously turned down the invitation with a curt message, Mr Badacsonyi said Matteo was probably touched by the charming location of the festival, their ‘natural arena’, which rivals big city venues.

Discounted tickets for the festival

The festival’s venue is a 20-hectare family estate, situated in one of the most picturesque valleys of the region.

Matteo Bocelli had announced a number of concerts for this January, with tickets sold out within just days.

The good news is that the Hungarian festival will launch ticket sales for upcoming concerts this February. Moreover, they will offer discounts for pensioners above 65 and students below 25. Entrance is free of charge for children under 12.

Zalacsány’s Örvényesvölgy Festival will see four superstars and several Hungarian guests, the biggest stars of jazz, blues and soul. Among the others, Morris Madrone from Los Angeles and Steffen Morrison will also be on stage.

In addition to Matteo’s performance, the Örvényesvölgy Festival boasts an eclectic lineup of international and Hungarian artists, spanning jazz, blues and soul genres. From Morris Madrone of Los Angeles to local sensation Steffen Morrison, the stage will be ablaze with musical brilliance.

Apart from the concerts, festival-goers can indulge in literary pursuits, e-bike adventures, puppetry delights, children’s crafts and even delve into archaeological explorations.
