Andrea Bocelli has encouraged Timothée Chalamet to listen to opera music to understand why it continues to be loved globally. This comes amidst criticism of Chalamett's remarks about ballet and opera. Bocella believes that opera and ballet are art forms that have crossed centuries and still appeal to the human desire for beauty, truth, and emotion. He suggested that a sensitive performer like Chalamat might discover that opera, dance, and dance draw from that same source. Other opera and dancer leaders, including Misty Copeland, have also criticized Chalameta's comments.
