What started as a one-off performance for a corporate event by a slightly rag tag group of young blokes from Brisbane’s Conservatorium of Music in 1995 has gone on to become a musical and touring juggernaut. The TEN Tenors have circled the world multiple times and performed in some of the most iconic venues including Royal Albert Hall London, The Shrine Auditorium Los Angeles, The Sydney Opera House and more. The TEN Tenors now have a touring history in 37 countries around the world and performed more than 3,500 shows.
“The TEN Tenors sound has been refined, the dancing is light years ahead and the suits are definitely better and matching, but the heart, soul and energy of the group remains as it always has. They are serious about singing, slightly irreverent and always fun.”
Since their inception there have been approximately 60 members of The TEN Tenors. All have been exceptional singers and have come from all aspects of vocal styles. The currently lineup includes some of the finest opera singers from Australia and New Zealand, including Boyd Owen, Daniel Belle, Ammon Bennett and Cameron Barclay. The TEN Tenors also feature highly accomplished contemporary and musical theatre singers including Michael Edwards, Adrian Li Donni, JD Smith and Sam Ward. One could say this is the strongest line up The TEN Tenors have ever assembled; and led by the incredible talent of musical director Michael Edwards.
Becoming one of The TEN Tenors means joining an exclusive brotherhood. “We don’t have a secret tattoo or a ring, but for a time there we did have the secret cuff links that were worn on stage,” jokes producer and long-time manager of The TEN Tenors, D-J Wendt. “The camaraderie and feeling of being a Tenor can be likened to the combination of the best parts of a strong family bond, a football team and a secret club, rolled in to one.” Says classical tenor Boyd Owen.
The TEN Tenors are known for their iconic performances of some of the all time great songs which over the years have become TEN Tenor staples - included Bohemian Rhapsody, Hallelujah, Time of my Life, Here’s to the Heroes, Shallow, Pearl Fishers Duet, Funiculì, Funiculà, Largo AL Factotum and, of course, Nessun Dorma. Each show features new and exciting interpretations of well-known classical pop and rock songs, accompanied by show-stopping choreography. The TEN Tenors are famous the world over for their incredibly clever and witty musical medleys including the “Michael Jackson medley” ,“Bee Gee’s”, “Jersey Boys”, “Disco”, “80’s”, “Boy Band”, and of course the “Diva Medley”, which has snippets of 22 songs seamlessly joined for a rocking and sometimes ironic romp through a catalogue of massive “Diva” hits.
The TEN Tenors will start the new year in Germany where they kick off a European tour before returning to Australia to commence their Australian tour at The Star Gold Coast on 24 April 2025.
