International lyric tenor Paul Ettore Tabone brings audiences a powerful and emotional concert event celebrating the music of Andrea Bocelli in ‘Paul Tabone Salutes Andrea Bocelli’.
Described by the BBC as “Australia’s own Bocelli” and praised by Theatre Direct as “a powerhouse voice that could fill a stadium”, Tabone brings extraordinary vocal power and emotional depth to this spectacular tribute to one of the world’s most beloved voices.
Tabone leads audiences on a sweeping musical journey through Bocelli’s most iconic repertoire. The concert features timeless favourites including ‘The Prayer’, ‘Time to Say Goodbye’, ‘Canto della Terra’, ‘Besame Mucho ‘and more, all performed with Tabone’s signature blend of operatic mastery and theatrical storytelling.
In 2016, Tabone shared the stage with Andrea Bocelli at the Arena di Verona before an audience of 20,000, with the performance broadcast to more than 20 million viewers worldwide. That milestone appearance alongside his musical hero became the inspiration for this heartfelt tribute concert now touring to audiences across Australia.
Tabone is one of Australia’s most accomplished international tenors. His career spans London’s West End and Broadway, appearances at the Sydney Opera House, the National Opera of Bucharest and Teatro Carlo Felice in Italy, as well as a record-breaking 1,800 performances in ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ in London. His rare ability to move effortlessly between opera, classical crossover and musical theatre has made him a favourite with audiences both at home and abroad.
From heartfelt ballads to soaring anthems, the concert celebrates not only Bocelli’s extraordinary music but also Tabone’s own remarkable journey – from growing up on a North Queensland sugar cane farm to performing on some of the world’s greatest stages.
‘Paul Tabone Salutes Andrea Bocelli’ promises an unforgettable afternoon of beauty, passion and world-class vocal artistry.
