Brighton - “an amazing line-up of tenors all trying to outdo each other”
As music director Simon Gray explains: “The Three Tenors were a popular operatic singing group during the 1990s and early 2000s, consisting of Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, and Luciano Pavarotti. The trio began their collaboration with a performance at the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy, on July 7 1990, the eve of the 1990 FIFA World Cup Final, watched by a global television audience of around 800 million, introducing opera to wider audience.
“On Saturday, April 23 at All Saints Church in Hove, Music Theatre 2000 and Showtime Productions will be presenting not The Three Tenors but ten tenors in a concert of operatic arias, Neapolitan songs and show songs.”
