Andrea Bocelli to Release 30th Anniversary ROMANZA Edition and Rarities Collection
The beloved tenor's landmark debut album will be reissued alongside a curated rarities collector's set.
Andrea Bocelli is to release two new collections tied to the 30th anniversary of his breakthrough album ROMANZA: a 30th Anniversary Edition of the original record and a separate Rarities: Collectors Edition featuring previously unreleased and hard-to-find material.
On Tuesday, July 21, Bocelli announced the 30th anniversary edition of his landmark album ROMANZA, due out September 25 via Sugar/UMe, and Rarities: Collectors Edition, due out November 20 via Decca.
Released in 1997, ROMANZA launched Bocelli onto the global stage, selling nearly 20 million copies worldwide and becoming one of the best-selling contemporary classical albums of all time. ROMANZA (30th Anniversary) will be available in both standard and deluxe editions. The deluxe package includes gold-colored vinyl, a signed lithograph by Bocelli, and a coffee table book featuring newly commissioned liner notes by acclaimed journalist Craig McLean, tracing Bocelli's extraordinary rise from emerging Italian tenor to one of the world's most celebrated artists. Both editions also feature never-before-seen photographs from the album's recording sessions. The collection brings together all 16 tracks from the original album, including the timeless global hits 'Time to Say Goodbye' with Sarah Brightman and 'Vivo per Lei' featuring Giorgia, as well as a previously unreleased extended version of Bocelli's hit 'Con te Partirò.'
Alongside ROMANZA (30th Anniversary), Bocelli also announced Rarities: Collectors Edition, due out November 20. The limited-edition box set brings together three previously unreleased albums featuring deeply personal recordings released for the first time. The collection includes Le Mie Poesie, featuring brand-new poems written and recited by Bocelli and set to music, alongside the operatic works Torre del Lago and Dall'Archivio (From the Archives). Presented in a numbered collector's box, Rarities: Collectors Edition includes three LPs, three CDs, a bespoke coffee table book featuring never-before-seen photographs from Bocelli's life and career, exclusive personal writings and poetry published in print for the first time, a signed art print, a handcrafted silk scarf, certificate of authenticity, and other collectible keepsakes.
Rarities: Collector's Edition will also have its exclusive unveiling at Teatro del Silenzio (Theater of Silence) in Tuscany, a natural amphitheater in Bocelli's hometown. Showcased in the breathtaking setting that has become synonymous with Bocelli's artistic legacy, the Collector's Edition highlights a carefully curated collection of rare recordings, exclusive content, and beautifully crafted packaging that reflects his extraordinary career. The display invites fans and visitors alike to discover the artistry, history, and enduring cultural impact of Andrea Bocelli in a location that embodies the spirit of his music.
In celebration of the anniversary, Bocelli is embarking on the Romanza 30th Anniversary World Tour. The North American tour kicks off on September 8 in Seattle, WA. Produced by AEG Presents, the 2026 Romanza 30th Anniversary Tour will see Bocelli perform in iconic venues across the world, including his return to Madison Square Garden for two nights in New York City, The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO, Bell Centre in Montreal, QC, TD Garden in Boston, and more.
