Lajatico
Lajatico's famous son, singer Andrea Bocelli decided to create a unique open-air theater near his birth-town of Lajatico in Valdera, 40 kms South of Pisa. Helped by some brilliant architects and artists, he chose a unique location just outside the town and created a fantastic natural theater over the ridge of a descending hill immersed in a sea of golden fields. First opened in July 2006, Teatro del Silenzio is a very peculiar infrastructure with a huge stage adorned by a charming pond that hosts giant sculptures which change for each concert.
The theater is only open once a year in July for a masterly concert of Andrea Bocelli and several guest stars from all over the world. The acoustics of the place together with its surroundings make the concert an annual music event one cannot not miss. The whole town Lajatico is closed and a shuttle bus service is organized from the near La Sterza for an audience of nearly 7,000 people. This year the concert of Andrea Bocelli at Teatro del Silenzio took place on Saturday 18th July 2009.
