• The Ten Tenors DATE :WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11 VENUE : ATHENAEUM THEATRE 188 COLLINS STREET MELBOURNE VICTORIA 3000 ATHENAEUM THEATRE One of Australia’s most successful musical exports, The TEN Tenors re-emerge in 2014 with their finest live offering yet - ‘The TEN Tenors On Broadway’. Kicking off in the US in January, ‘The TEN Tenors on Broadway’ will encompass more than 70 dates including a major show in Las Vegas and Broadway before returning to home soil. The Australian tour kicks off in Adelaide on 18th May, taking in Toowoomba, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Canberra, winding up in Hobart at the end of July. ‘The TEN Tenors on Broadway’ showcases Australia’s favourite tenors as you’ve never seen them before. It’s a sweeping production paying homage to our greatest musicals: a must see for 2014. Imagine the iconic Broadway shows – Oklahoma, Jersey Boys, West Side Story, Miss Saigon, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, The Wizard of Oz and more. Take the most loved songs from these productions – a powerful mix of theatrical showstoppers and heart-melting ballads - combine them with the finest tenor voices in the world, and you’re set to witness one of the most enjoyable live music experiences of the year. The presentation of the On Broadway show has been designed to take The TEN Tenors live experience to another level. The visual aspect will be enhanced using a spectacular stage resembling the ‘TKTS’ red stairs from Times Square, and to compliment this, an all-female string section, in addition to orchestrations by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. The TEN Tenors have received international acclaim, pushing the boundaries of the classical crossover genre, and their producer, Brisbane’s D-J Wendt, says this exceptional new show is continuing that tradition. “The On Broadway show is the best example yet of what this group can deliver, and they are thrilled to be performing such powerful repertoire. I guarantee this live show will have audiences coming back for more.” The TEN Tenors have enjoyed incredible global success through their fifteen years in the business, with more than 90 million people witnessing their unmistakable charm, camaraderie and vocal power. Their unique approach to opera, rock and pop has powered their rise to the top and enabled them to sell over 3.5 million concert tickets across seven continents. Ten studio albums have delivered four gold and two platinum albums, alongside gold and platinum DVDs. Along the way, they have compiled an impressive resume – performing live on Whitehaven Beach in Queensland for Oprah Winfrey as part of ‘Oprah’s Ultimate Australian Adventure’, recording the theme song "Jungle Rhythm" for the film "The Jungle Book 2" for Disney, reaching the Top 10 on the European pop charts for the album "One Is Not Enough”, performing with John Travolta in Frankfurt for Qantas’s Spirit of Friendship campaign, acting as 2005 Australian Ambassadors at the G'day LA week culminating in a performance at the ball with Nicole Kidman, Geoffrey Rush and Keith Urban, singing at the UEFA Cup in Warsaw, Poland in 2012, and at Carols in The Domain in December last year. They have performed alongside such diverse artists as Rod Stewart, Andrea Bocelli, Alanis Morissette, Willie Nelson, Katherine Jenkins and Christina Aguilera, and have recorded music for BMW, Carlton & United Brewing, the AFL and the Tour de France (German TV coverage). Despite all of this success, The TEN Tenors remain charmingly unaffected, just as happy enjoying a cold beer at home as they are traveling the globe and meeting some of the world’s most famous people! What began as a group of university students joining up to earn some extra cash is now a massively success international recording and touring entity. With ‘On Broadway’, The TEN Tenors are set to embark on the next exciting chapter in their remarkable journey.
