Many have unsuccessfully tried to define the purpose of art. This attempt is almost as foolish as trying to explain what qualities make an artist. However, it only takes one quick look at a video of an opera legend to know you are viewing art.

Music videos are an art form that is not nearly as popular today as in past years. Two decades ago, one of the most popular shows on television counted down videos that were most requested by viewers on a daily basis. You will probably be unable to find a single music video on television today.

YouTube has made it possible for artists to create music videos and present them directly to fans. This opportunity makes it unnecessary to earn a spot on a countdown show produced on television. Opera legend Andrea Bocelli took advantage of this outlet recently to create something beautiful for fans.

The song performed by Bocelli in the video is 'Ave Marie Pietas'. Contemporary dance is used to tell the story in the video

Two dancers in the video recreate the iconic 'Pieta' sculpture by Michaelangelo. The sculpture depicts the sorrow of Mary at the death of her son Jesus. One interesting aspect of the video is the female dancer took the place of Jesus. It was the male dancer that supported her body as Mary.

The dance takes place in an empty church. The dancers were only joined by Andrea Bocelli. The singer belted out notes from a pew while kneeling.

The song is from Bocelli's latest album which features a number of duets with successful pop singers. It is the first original work produced by Bocelli in years. Bocelli was assisted in his return to music by Ed Sheeran.

Bocelli consistently performed over the years despite not recording any new music. Throughout this time Bocelli, fellow songwriters, and producers wrote many songs they did not record. These are the songs that comprise the new record, 'Si.'

'Si' is a duet with Aida Garifullina. It is the first time Bocelli has worked with the Russian soprano. Aida begins to sing midway through the video. Her voice is a perfect addition to Bocelli's tenor.

The dancers match the intensity of the singers as the song grows in fervor. Bocelli and Aida eventually come together at the altar. The background is a halo made of sunlight.
