ON DECEMBER 25, ONE SILVER FLUTE SPOKE BEFORE THE VOICE DID. Andrea Bocelli has spent a lifetime letting his voice lead the way. But this time, he didn’t rush it. Before singing Dolce è Sentire, he lifted a silver flute and played the opening himself. Soft. Unhurried. Almost like a breath. The moment came during a Christmas concert on December 25, inside the Basilica di San Francesco. Stone walls. Masked musicians. Sacred quiet. The flute set the mood long before the first lyric arrived. It didn’t feel like a performance meant to impress. It felt like an offering. Gentle. Reverent. Unexpected. As if he was reminding us that sometimes, music begins long before the voice.
