Back on December 17th, Evanescence singer Amy Lee had the unusual honor of performing at the Vatican's annual "Concerto Di Natale" as part of Pope Francis's Christmas celebrations at the Auditorium Conciliazione in Rome, Italy. She sang her band's smash hit "Bring Me to the Life" and covered the Beatles' "Across the Universe," both accompanied by the Orchestra Italiana del Cinema, conducted by Maestro Adriano Pennino. Today (February 1st), official footage of her performances hit YouTube — watch above and below.
As reported by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Lee became involved with the concert after she took part in a 2021 songwriting session with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and his son, Matteo, at Bocelli's estate in Tuscany. Soon after the fact the Vatican event, she described her participation as an "unforgettable experience." Other performers included AKA7even, Cristina D'Avena, Darin, Fiorella Mannoia and Jimmy Sax.
