As a musician and music afficianada, I have to say this was the greatest musical show I've seen in a LONG time. Their voices were golden. Comedy, Opera, and Pop all rolled into a velvet package. Wonderful!
I've always liked the tenor voice, so when the "3 Tenors" CD came out some years back, I rushed to get it, and it's been one of my favorites. Therefore, when I saw an ad for a show at the Pantages billed as "The Ten Tenors", it was a must-see.
The curtain rose at the Pantages, and ten young Autstralian guys came on stage wearing black shirts and black pants. They were backed up by an electric keyboard, piano and drums. The stage lighting was dramatic casting interesting patterns on the ornate ceiling. From the start, the performance grabbed my attention.
As I listened to them, I kept thinking "testosterone". By intermission, I figured it out.
The performance radiated sexual energy. They didn't create this impression by scratching their balls or gyrating their hips. The energy emanated from the music itself.
Their voices were beautiful and powerful. The combination of their voices was synergistic. The music often had a driving rhythm and many of their songs built to powerful crescendos.
They say men react to visual stimuli and women react to auditory stimuli. This was much better than "The Full Monty".
If listening to a tenor causes your legs to turn to jelly, then get thee to the Pantages.
In the heart of Hollywood, on Hollywood Boulevard, right down the block from Vine Street, stands the Pantages Theatre. It's a fitting location: The Pantages has become one of the greatest landmarks of Hollywood, signifying both the glorious past and adventuresome future of the world's entertainment capital.
The Pantages has a history as grand and diverse as the stage and screen far... More
The ensemble formed in 1995 while the tenors were university students, studying for careers in opera. The Ten Tenors created and performed their first full-length show in 1998, while still full time students, and were undertaking an intensive touring schedule in Australia before the completion of that academic year. The Ten Tenors have been a committed musical tour de force ever since.
Heroically striding through the classical tenor repertoire, swaying through the ballads of the Neapolitan crooners, and highlighting their youth with critically acclaimed performances of rock classics, The Ten Tenors and their unmistakable Australian charm have captured the hearts of countless fans worldwide.Use of this site is governed by our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. © 2008 Goldstar Events, Inc.
