Three Tenors Milwaukee

Tim, Tommy, and Andrew met and became friends in 2013 when they shared the stage in Skylight Music Theatre’s production of Les Misérables. Now, after eight years, all three appear together in one incredible performance blending Broadway, opera, jazz and rock; with solos, duets and trios packing some major vocal firepower, and Maggie Rebers at the piano, holding it all together.

6 First Fridays — August 2021 CORE ‘NGRATO UNGRATEFUL HEART Catarì, pecchè me dici Catarina, why do say sti parole amare; pecchè me parle such bitter words; Why speak e ‘o core me turmiente, Catarì? and torment my heart, Catarina?

Catarì, che vene a dicere Catarina, what do you mean by stu parlà ca me dà spaseme? These words that stagger me? Tu nun’nce pienze a stu dulore mio, You don’t think of the pain I feel, tu nun’nce pienze, tu nun te ne cure. You don’t think, You don’t care.

Disperse, stars! all’alba vincerò! At dawn I will be victorious!
