What happens when Opera meets pop music?


The Italian Tenors are three of Europe’s most successful operatic tenors who have become a worldwide pop-opera phenomenon. They toured Australia in 2016 on their inaugural tour which saw the trio play to sell-out performances nationally. They trio combines classical roots with Neapolitan music and their own blend of Italian Pop.

The Italian Tenors will be touring Australia again between November and December 2018. Their encore Australian tour promises all the Italian charm and vocal power of their recently sold out European tour. The Italian Tenors consist of Sabino Gaita, Evans Tonon and Luca Sala.

Sabino was born and raised in Milan and now lives in Turin, where he regularly sings at the local Opera House. That’s where he met Evans and Fabio, during a production of Aida. Sabino began studying music at the age of five and can play several instruments, including the piano, the saxophone, and the clarinet. He also finds pleasure composing songs and has created his own recording studio where he produces his works.

Evans was born and raised in Turin. Despite his English sounding name he is fully Italian. Before creating the Italian Tenors in 2012, Evans was singing leading opera talent in important Italian opera houses. He is also a trained actor, playing in Italian TV series and films, and a voice actor, lending his spoken voice to ads and documentaries.

Luca is an accomplished composer who has written songs for some of the most famous Italian pop singers. His songs "Non è l'inferno" written for Evans Tonin won the 2012 edition of the Sanremo Festival, Italy's most popular music festival. He has graduated from the Milan conservatory where he studied flute, piano, and choral music performance. Luca often performs in concert with his wife Corinta, who is also an accomplished singer.

 "We are passionate about music, and we are passionate about our own country. So much that we named ourselves The Italian Tenors. This time we want to take you to a journey through Italy through our music. If there is anything attractive you will find in Italy: from the Roman ruins of our capital, to the amazing food of Naples, the beautiful beaches of Sicily and Sardinia, the precious wines and green hills of Tuscany, the fashion in Milan, the baroque architecture of all of our cities. And then the myriads of churches, the romantic canals of Venice, the opera houses. But there’s more to it. For example, did you know that the fabric that is used today to make blue jeans was first created in Genoa, in Italy, many centuries ago? So join us on this Italian journey and discover more as we sing about our much loved country through its fascinating music" The Italian Tenors.
