After a series of private screenings in the United States and Europe “The Journey to the Theatre of Silence” – a short film featuring Italian superstar tenor Andrea Bocelli, American piano sensation Lola Astanova and a 16-time GRAMMY winning producer David Foster was released online today.
With over 100 million Instagram views last year, Lola Astanova has become the most watched pianist in the world, generating excitement and fan engagement numbers unseen in classical music. The documentary follows Astanova’s journey to Italy for a performance with Andrea Bocelli at Teatro del Silenzio (the Theater of Silence) – a unique concert event at the Italian superstar’s hometown of Lajatico, in the heart of Tuscany. The concert took place in August of 2017 at an open-air amphitheater hidden among the rolling hills of Tuscany and brought together over twelve thousand spectators from every corner of the world.
The young classical star and the highest-selling classical singer in history are joined on screen by the legendary Canadian producer David Foster, whose storied career also included collaborations with Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Toni Braxton and Michael Bublé to name a few. Last year’s recipient of the GRAMMY museum’s Architect of Sound Award, Foster shared his personal insights, impressions and memories, giving the viewers a rare glimpse into makes a successful music career.
Produced by Misha Levintas and Veronica Berti, the documentary was directed by Alina Dianova-Siciliano, who believes that it reaches beyond the music. “This film is about beauty in all its facets: the beauty of nature, the beauty of human voice, the beauty of touch, the beauty of pursuing one’s dreams,” said the young director, “Beauty is not something that we possess, but, rather, a moment of harmony that we long to experience again, and that is the main idea behind this film.”
