The Three Tenors - Pavarotti Viva

2009-07-07T22:41:00.000-07:00

Inspired by Pavarotti, our three tenors provide a show that is full of joy and light-heartedness which will touch you with its emotion and generosity. Pavarotti Viva! Takes you on a journey starting with his early operatic beginnings, including his tours in Australia with Joan Sutherland, to his worldwide fame through the Three Tenors' concerts and ending with 'Pavarotti and Friends' raising funds for children's charities with the assistance of stars from the world of rock and pop music.

Pavarotti had one glorious voice! But Pavarotti Viva! Gives you not 1 but 3 wonderful tenor voices PLUS a soprano! Accompanied by piano and rhythm section this is definitely a 'more than memorable' performance.

Pavarotti Viva Show
Show includes well loved arias from:
Rigoletto (Verdi)
La Boheme (Puccini)
L'Elisir d'Amore (Donizetti)
favourite Italian songs like O sole mio, Mamma and Funiculi, Funicula
songs from West Side Story (Bernstein)
popular songs sung by Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion and Joe Cocker

In the world of opera, our hearts and souls are lifted above the ordinary and into the divine. But in nearly every opera, there is a tragedy. Recently, we have seen the tragic passing of one of opera's greatest heroes, Luciano Pavarotti. He touched our hearts and moved us all with one of the most magnificent voices the world has ever known.

CBD gets a taste of Italy

2009-06-06T22:50:00.000-07:00

Workers strolling through Reddacliff Place in Brisbane's CBD today got a colourful taste of what to expect from the second half of Italian Week.
Models draped themselves over a Vespa scooter and red Fiat convertible, three tenors paid tribute to operatic icon Luciano Pavarotti and waiters from the old country practised running with trays of wine-filled glasses.
Festival producer Alessandro Sorbello said the week-long celebration had already been a hit with the city's residents, but the best was yet to come, including Italian Fashion Week parades, numerous musical performances from internationally renowned artists, a motor show and more food events.
At the end of the day, however, he said he hoped the festival left Brisbane residents with a deeper understanding and affinity for the Italian way of life.
"Italy has such a rich culture that we want to start to really now tap the broader, the deeper dimensions of it,'' he said.
"We want to say it is about food, it is about fun and wine, but there's much, much more to it as well there's also a way of life. They (Italians) are very much orientated around now, about being spontaneous.
"You don't know which day is your last day so why not have a great day every day?''
Mr Sorbello said there was no reason why the sunshine state's celebration of all things Italian could not become bigger than its southern rivals.
"We're going to keep building,'' he said.
"Melbourne has the Lygon Street Festival and Sydney has the Norton Street Festival, and now Brisbane has the Italian Week Festival.
"Absolutely we can be bigger.
"Next year we have plans to bring in architecture and visual art so we can really transform the city for Italian Week into Italy.''
Major events over the coming days include fashion parades showcasing Italian and local designers' creations in the Queen Street Mall on Friday and the weekend; the Italian Motorshow in Reddacliff Place on May 31; the Italian Waiters Race held as part of Tastes of Italy on May 31 which re-enacts the 1950s race in Rome's Colosseum and a host of free concerts from star performers on the Queen Street Mall stage and in Reddacliff place.
