According to http://www.andreabocelli.com/ "Andrea Bocelli is an opera singer. A refined tenor (whose use of his voice combines the unmistakable power of the heroic tone with the youthful fragrance of a graceful tenor fortified by an unusually polished timbre) who can sing anything from Verdi to Puccini, from Mascagni to Massenet; an artist who scrupulously studies the score (evident also by the way in which he does not emulate the great masters of the past: Bocelli brings his own interpretation, his own approach, to each role). He is a "complete" musician, as they used to say of those who had a solid background of study behind them, including the piano. Moreover he forged his own personality through the study of the humanities and a degree in Law. Paradoxically, at times it pays to restrict one's breadth of interest, while instead eclecticism, intellectual curiosity, the absence of prejudice - in the colourful and diverse world of the opera-goer - are a source of diffidence and even of suspicion."
