Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts - Go the Distance: Tenori
Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts presents Go the Distance - Tenori. This concert will be AUSLAN interpreted. Andrew, David and Stewart have travelled a great distance doing what they love. In their new show, they open their treasure trove of songs and stories from the road. Go the Distance explores their fascination with exotic locales and tall tales (with the occasional true story). The three met while touring internationally with The Ten Tenors, performing in venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall, The Pantages Theatre in LA and the Sydney Opera House. After some time apart working with Opera Australia, Opera Queensland and many of the country’s finest orchestras, they are back together doing what they do best. Tenori has quickly established a formidable reputation and is known for juxtaposing high-quality singing with a large dash of cheeky humour. They are equally at home crooning with a solo piano in a cabaret bar or rocking out with a big band onboard the iconic Queen Mary 2. Individually, they have beautiful voices. Together they sing like the band of brothers they are, with the camaraderie and precision that more than a decade of harmonising together can bring. 'Tenori have perfected an entertaining mash-up of opera, musical theatre, jazz and pop.' The Australian This Lord Mayor's City Hall Concert is produced by Evolution Productions.
