Beverley Knight and Sumi Jo will join Andrea Bocelli in Dublin and London later this year.
The pair will appear at the Italian tenor's shows at the 3Arena on October 30 and 31 before two dates at the O2 Arena in London on November 2 and 3. Speaking about Knight, Bocelli said:
"I was aware of and appreciated the expressiveness, versatility and fire - that burns and lights up - of her voice and personality. When I heard Beverley Knight live on stage in 2015 in my hometown, Lajatico, I promised myself that I would find the opportunity to perform with her as soon as possible and to have her as a special guest for one of my concerts. I am honoured to say that this opportunity has finally arrived."
On his choice of soprano Jo, he added:
"Not only is she the most famous and loved voice of South Korea but a true heroine of the Land of Morning Calm; Sumi Jo is an extraordinary artist who has contributed to the history of interpretation. She is a wonderful Lady of opera who continues to amaze and portray beauty. A superb woman on stage and in life; she is sensitive, kind, cultured, sophisticated yet genuine.
"I have been a fan of hers since the start and after having had the honour of performing a duet with her again last year at the wonderful Colosseum in Rome, I am proud to perform with her again during my concert. Because Sumi inevitably gets into the heart of anyone who is lucky enough to listen to her voice.”
Bocelli last toured in the UK in 2016 in support of 'Cinema'.
