For lovers of classical music, the Majestic Theatre in Pomona has two very special concerts coming up in September and October, with performances by Lyric Tenor Paul Ettore Tabone in September, and world renown Jazz Violinist Luca Ciarla in October.
Queenslander Paul Tabone began performing in public at the age of nine, and after winning the ‘“Most Promising Voice for Music Theatre Award” at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music in 2007 and 2009, he graduated with a Batchelor of Music Theatre and immediately debuted in Opera Queensland’s production of The Dirty Apple.
Since then Paul has travelled extensively, studying and performing overseas with some of the world’s greats. In 2011, he performed the role of Squelch in Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. In 2012, he moved to Italy to pursue his career in opera and studied as a lyric tenor. There, he was chosen by Nicoletta Mantovani, the wife of the late Luciano Pavarotti, to sing alongside Andrea Bocelli, Placido Domingo, Jose Carraras, and Ambrogio Maestri as one of the four tenors at Pavarotti’s 100th year birthday celebration. He then relocated to London, where he performed the role of Ubaldo Piangi in The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre in the original production on West End in 2016. As Piangi, he appeared in over 1200 performances.
In this concert Paul will present the power and the passion of one of the greatest opera singers of all time. It is a special performance honouring the late Luciano Pavarotti. Regarded as Australia’s own “Bocelli”, Paul has performed to audiences across the globe including the National Opera of Bucharest, Teatro Carlo Felice, Teatro Del Giglio, Sydney Opera House, London’s West End and on Broadway.
“Viva Pavarotti” will include performances of some of Pavarotti’s most beloved arias, as well as a look back at his remarkable career and enduring impact on the world of classical music. Tabone will bring Pavarotti’s music to life with his stunning voice and captivating stage presence. Audiences can expect to hear classic arias such as Nessun Dorma, Maria, Torna Surriento, O Sole Mio and many more. This is a rare chance to celebrate the life and music of Luciano Pavarotti, and it’s sure to be an unforgettable afternoon for opera fans and music lovers alike.
The performance is on Sunday 7 September.
Doors and bar open at 3pm. Show starts at 4pm. Tickets can be purchased in advance from The Majestic Theatre’s website for $45.
