Italian Tenors charm again 16 NOVEMBERN – 9 DECEMBER

LIVELIVE WWITH WEST AUSTRALIAN PHIPHILHARMONICL ORCHESTRA

DIRECT from Italy, the Italian Tenors, three of Eu- rope’s most successful operatic tenors, have become a worldwide pop-opera phenomenon. Fabio La Mattina, Sabino Gaita and Evans To- non toured Australia in 2016 on their inaugural tour which saw the group play to sell out performances Australia wide. The Italian Tenors signed to Universal Records, combine their classical roots with Neapolitan songs and their own blend of Italian pop, which is not only evident on their self-titled album but is sung with the  air and virtuosity that is uniquely them. Their encore Australian tour promises all the Italian charm and vocal power of their recently sold out European tour. Together with their live band, the evening promises to be an incredible musical montage of vocal passion and entertainment excellence. Don’t miss them this year as they return to Perth.
