The Other Three Tenors
Trading on the success of Domingo, Carreras, Pavarotti and Connely (Billy), The Other Three Tenors have tickled the funny bones of people at conferences, concerts, festivals, launches and parties. The have graced all manner of venues from living rooms to outdoor arenas.
Three real life opera singers play the parts of Jose Canary-arse (Ian Campbell), Placebo the Dingo (Terry Barry) and Lou Charno Pavagrotty (Greg Patel). These men take time out from their careers with opera companies around the country to enjoy themselves poking fun at other singers.
As a result, the singing is impressive and the comedy irreverent.
The programme is flexible and changes, in part, regularly to remain topical, but contains only well known and extremely popular pieces so that even the most ardent opera haters will enjoy themselves!
