About

One tenor is good, two tenors are even better! Lawrence Brownlee and Michael Spyres, opulent singers and great Rossini experts, share the stage for an exceptional evening in which masterpieces from the Italian bel canto repertoire will be performed alongside some of the finest works of French verism. After some arias and duets devoted to Rossini, which promises to be a delight, the singers will showcase the expressive power of Bizet, not forgetting the greats – Verdi and Mozart. This programme is skilfully designed to allow the sensational virtuosity of these two star tenors to shine as they spark off each other.
