A charity concert given by tenor Andrea Bocelli at Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, Italy, featured a choir of 60 young Haitian singers, who are part of the educational Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF) musical project. Held annually in support of his foundation, Voices of Haiti, this year’s concert used an Allen & Heath dLive C Class mixing system at FOH. The opera star accompanied the choir and there were also performances from several international guest artists. Now in its 12^th year, the concert was attended by more than 15,000 people.

PA company Luciano Spera Audio Video Luci was responsible for audio requirements on the night, selecting a compact dLive C3500 Surface with CDM48 MixRack, to manage FOH.

‘The dLive C Class was a great choice for this concert. Its compact size means we did not take up much space in the audience, and the audio clarity, depth and quality of the system make it the perfect choice for classical events,’ reports sound engineer Pierpaolo Guerrini.
