For the last few years, star Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli has been giving his musically gifted children a platform in the studio and the concert stage. Andrea, Matteo, and Virginia even recorded their first family Christmas album in 2022, featuring a duet on Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ with his youngest child.

Now 11 years old, Virginia Bocelli has joined her father, 65, once more at the mic in a misty-eyed duet for new film Cabrini.

Released on 23 February, the music video for ‘Dare To Be’ sees the father-daughter duo seated on an armchair, their arms tenderly placed around each other as they sing together in Italian and English.

Cabrini, which also features Virginia in a small acting role for the first time, is about one woman, Catholic missionary Francesca Cabrini, and her fight for the equality, health, and happiness of disenfranchised immigrants in New York City in the late 19th century.

Directed by Alejandro Monteverde, the English language film stars Cristiana Dell’Anna, John Lithgow, David Morse, Virginia Bocelli, and Rolando Villazón.

‘Dare To Be’, which was composed by Andrea Bocelli, Gene Back, Giovanni Caccomo and Courtney Rodriguez, features as an original song for the end credits of the film, a production by Angel Studios.

In a statement, the head of music for Angel Studios, Ryan Svendsen said: “‘Dare To Be’ captures the spirit of Francesca Cabrini, who spent her life bringing light and hope to those who were living on the margins.

“We are honoured to have the musicality of Andrea Bocelli and Virginia Bocelli whose stunning vocals in this beautifully crafted duet amplify the embodiment of Cabrini’s essence within this incredible film.”

Wishing this father-daughter duo many more happy years of duets…
