The Ten Tenors

Larger Than Life

From classical to pop ... A musical tour-de-force!

The internationally-acclaimed Australian singing phenomenon comes to the Majestic Theatre in Dallas.

From the moment THE TEN TENORS burst upon the concert scene in Germany in 2001, their international career was launched.  Since then, THE TEN TENORS have enjoyed a relentless touring schedule with sold-out performances in Europe, Asia and their native Australia, appearing alongside such artists as Rod Stewart, Andrea Boccelli, Alanis Morissette, Willie Nelson and many others. 

Dallas Summer Musicals Broadway Contemporary Series brings this internationally-acclaimed singing phenomenon and their lavish celebration of vocal power to The Majestic Theatre in Dallas for 8 shows only, Jan. 25-30, 2005. 

Tickets, priced from $15-$60, are on sale now at The Box Office, 542 Preston Royal Shopping Center, or any Ticketmaster outlet, including The Majestic Theatre Box Office.  Tickets may be purchased by phone by calling 214-631-ARTS, or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

THE TEN TENORS are a new musical force to be reckoned with.  They have been seen by over 77 million people, on three continents, selling out shows and winning hearts with their unmistakable charm, camaraderie and vocal prowess in opera, pop, rock, and more. From arias to ABBA, their unique style is an unparalleled fusion of artistry, musicianship and comedy.  For more information, visit their website at www.thetentenors.com.

THE TEN TENORS new CD, “Larger Than Life” was released in North America in September by Rhino Records; their “Larger Than Life” DVD will be released on Jan. 11, 2005. Their concert, taped live in Brisbane, Australia (the tenors’ hometown) was seen on public television stations, including KERA, in December.

Their CD, “One is Not Enough,” reached the Top 10 in the European pop charts, and they were invited by Disney to record the theme song “Jungle Rhythm” for the film “Jungle Book 2” (2003).  They have been awarded “Best Artist Pop Meets Classics Award” by the Radio Hamburg Awards and received The Variety Group of the Year Award at the 29th Annual Australian Entertainment MO Awards.
