BWW's Audra Stafford traveled with THE TEN TENORS as they made their rounds through the San Diego media.
The group have come a long way since humble beginnings as uni students at Queensland Conservatorium of Music, performing as a way to earn some pocket money, to becoming one of the most successful worldwide touring acts today, averaging 250 international concerts each year. Currently featured are Tenors Dion Molinas, Tod Strike, Benjamin Clark, Jeff Teale, Graham Foote, Steven Snowden, Dominic Smith, Stewart Morris, Boyd Owen and Luke Kennedy. As a Broadway/San Diego ~ A Nederlander Presentation, THE TEN TENORS HOLIDAY will bring cheer to SD Civic Theatre through December 13.
Nostalgica, their 8th studio album, set out to capture the intimacy between themselves and the audience during live performances, whilst invoking nostalgic memories of people, places or times in history. The songs range from Mexican best-sellers to post-war classics to jazz; including Granada, You'll Never Walk Alone, Louis Armstrong's classic, What A Wonderful World; their most requested song, Irish favourite, Danny Boy, and Besame Mucho.
With an unparalleled palette of repertoire, THE TEN TENORS have taken their passion for quality music and powerful singing to London's Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House, LA's Shrine Auditorium, Tchaikovsky Hall Moscow, most recently to Korea and Germany. They are delighted to be sharing this latest step in the journey with San Diego audiences. LA Times says "Their sound ... is what's truly sexy ... pure electricity and undeniable drama." Those very popular Aussie blokes will brighten the holidays with a repertoire currently selling out in cities across Europe!
