    The Ten Tenors

    The Ten Tenors

    What a grand event! A cross between a football event, an opera and a concert. It was lots of fun with 10 blokes joking with the crowd and each other as they sung a few hits from their albums including their new release Here's to the Heroes.

    The boys from Brissie (and 1 from Woollongong) continued to entertain us with a medley of Simon and Garfunkel, Queen, Opera without the Boring Bits, Bee Gees, Australian Folk songs and more. They were very entertaining and produced a fantastic sound in the Lyric Theatre at QPAC. AND they finished with one of my favourite arias made famous by the Three Tenors - Nessun Dorma

    There's something about the controlled power and intensity of such music. Probably why I like the music of the Three Tenors, Ten Tenors, Josh Groban etc.

    Some in the crowd mentioned they had seen Il Divo on Monday which was also a great event, though on a different scale to the Ten Tenors' first Brisbane performance in 2 years.
