What Andrea Bocelli Hears on Stage (Stefano Serpagli)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you’re supporting one of the most recognizable and powerful voices in the world, there is no margin for error.
In this episode, I sit down with Stefano Serpagli, the Monitor Engineer for Andrea Bocelli, to talk about what it takes to craft the perfect on-stage sound for a performance of this magnitude.
Stefano shares insight into the precision and restraint required to support a voice like Bocelli’s, balancing orchestra, band, choir, and venue acoustics while ensuring the artist hears exactly what he needs in every moment. We dive into trust between artist and engineer, adapting to world-class venues across the globe, and the responsibility that comes with mixing for a performance where nuance and dynamics matter deeply.
This conversation goes beyond gear and technology. It’s about musicality, awareness, and understanding how the smallest adjustments can shape a performance experienced by thousands in the room, and millions beyond it.
If you’ve ever wondered what Andrea Bocelli hears when he steps onto a stage, this is a rare look into the monitor world behind one of the most iconic live voices in modern music.
