The Four Italian Tenors: Viva Italia!

Puccini, Verdi, Donizetti, and more—the classical tenor voice repertoire is beloved for its lyricism, drama, and grace, and it is most certainly in good hands when performed by this impressive young group of Italian vocalists. In this delightful program of romantic, captivating, and passionate Italian music, a charming quartet of award-winning, rising musical stars— Alessandro D’Acrissa, Federico Serra, Federico Parisi, and Giovanni Maria Palmia—salute tenor statesmen of Italian classical music—Enrico Caruso, Mario Lanza, Luciano Pavarotti, and Andrea Bocelli. Bravo!
