In recent years, modern opera’s most iconic tenor, Andrea Bocelli, has made a point to stop into Tampa Bay on or around Valentine’s Day. With a voice that Celine Dion wouldn’t roll up her car window to, Bocelli has been moving even the coldest of souls for almost 30 years now.

Tickets to see Andrea Bocelli at Amalie Arena in Tampa on Thursday, Feb. 16 are still available and start at $81.
