Between them, this legend of musical theatre and Britain's most popular and best-selling tenor, a favourite of the Royals, have achieved accolades and triumphs galore.

Together is an unprecedented vocal and musical treat and features some of the biggest hits of all-time, a cherry-picked selection of personal favourites from film, theatre, the Great American Songbook and even pop; songs such as 'Music of the Night' from The Phantom of the Opera,Les Miserables Suite, 'A Wonderful World/Over The Rainbow', 'When You Wish Upon A Star' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe will be in Australia this month to promote Together - released through Universal Music Australia - before returning in October for their concert tour.

Having first met ten years ago performing together in Kismet at the London Coliseum, the stars became lifelong friends. That same year, Michael Ball made history as the first musical theatre star to be given a solo concert at the Royal Albert Hall's BBC Proms, and asked Alfie Boe to join him to perform at the classical music festival. Their instant camaraderie and professional mutual admiration made for the perfect pairing and, to the delight of their hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe, came to fruition when they released Together. The album's success is a testament to the popularity and talent of the UK's finest voices.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear two of the greatest voices in the world share the success of their smash-hit album, Together.
