Bocelli's concert in Lajatico 2012


The most awaited event of the summer, which combines the undisputed talent of Bocelli and his international guest  artists (casting yet to be announced!) with a lovely setting on the Tuscan hills. Two main dates to be marked on you calendar: July 12th for the main event and 11th for the reahearsal. 
The concert will begin right after sunset,  when the hills that surround the Theater of Silence will be painted in dark and the stage light up. Lajatico is a small village near Volterra in the heart of Tuscany, where the Bocelli family owns a farm and produces excellent wines. Before the concert, stop in La Sterza to taste wines from the Bocelli cellars. Entrance will be allowed around one hour before the start. Enjoy panorama of lush green hills of Lajatico by the unique position within the Theatre of Silence and toast with fresh wine and some snacks before the show begins.
There are not many hotels and accommodation in the surroundings which allow one night only reservation. I'd rather chck for a place in nearby villages such as Volterra, but also Latignano, Crespina, Chianni:
