Andrea Bocelli and His 11-Year-Old Daughter Virginia Deliver a Stunning Live “Hallelujah” Duet
Andrea Bocelli recently shared another magical moment with his daughter Virginia Bocelli, performing a touching rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
This isn’t the first time the world has seen this talented father-daughter duo. Virginia made her professional debut at just 8 years old during a heartwarming Christmas livestream from Teatro Regio di Parma—where she and Andrea first performed “Hallelujah” together, moving audiences around the globe.
Since then, Virginia has joined Andrea and her brother Matteo Bocelli on tour, and the trio released A Family Christmas album last year. This holiday season, they’ve added a deluxe edition, featuring a new duet between Andrea and Virginia on “Let It Snow.”
Their recent Strictly Come Dancing performance brought their signature warmth to the ballroom, as they shared their rendition of “Hallelujah” live among the elegant dancers—adding yet another unforgettable chapter to their family’s musical journey.
Andrea is also set to make history as the first classical artist to headline the iconic festival—so fans are being urged to grab tickets quickly before they’re gone.
In a candid interview with Express.co.uk last Christmas, Virginia reflected on her early nerves performing live: “The first times I sang live, I was actually very scared, but after a few times you start to get more comfortable. Singing ‘Over The Rainbow’ made me anxious again—it could go really well or really badly. But after a few good performances, you start calming yourself down, thinking, ‘Ok, I did well last time.’ It’s a learning experience.”
And clearly, she’s learning beautifully—growing into her own as a performer, right beside her legendary father.
