In "Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary," the renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli celebrates his 30th anniversary with aa three-day concert event in his Tuscan hometown, featuring duets with Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Will Smith, and others. (Gary Reber)

Special features include booklet on the concert.

The 2.39:1 2160p HEVC/H.265 Ultra HD HDR10 picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, was photographed digitally and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. Unfortunately, the release is a UHD presentation without HDR. Furthermore, there is allasing and artifacts throughout. The outdoor staging features a gigantic LED lit sundial with numerous LED lights surrounding the circular stage.Otherwise, the picture, at times, can look striking. Colors are attractive on the soloists and orchestra under varying lighting configurations. Resolution is excellent throughout. Overall, this is a satisfying concert video presentation that will delight fans. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is terrific sounding in this outdoor setting. Surround envelopment is spacious with excellent ambience within the sound field. The orchestra delivers satisfying surround envelopment as well as the audience reactions to the performances. The vocal presentation is superb. Fidelity throughout is excellent. The music and holosonic® soundtrack presentation is sure to thrill fans. (Gary Reber)
