The Ten Tenors Celebrate 20th Anniversary World Tour with THE POWER OF TEN at The McCallum Theatre

The most popular group in the history of the McCallum Theatre (21 sold-out shows and counting!), The TEN Tenors return with "The Power of TEN" celebrating the group's 20th Anniversary World Tour. For eight performances from Tuesday, February 28, through Sunday, March 5, "The Power of TEN" will showcase the exhilarating and unique sound for which The TEN Tenors are world-renowned.

In this spectacular new show, The TEN Tenors take on the most dynamic songs in the world, soaring through classical arias and giving rock anthems the special "tenorial" treatment. This electrifying night of world-class entertainment truly shows that "the Vocal Wonders from Down Under" can sing anything, with beloved classics by Puccini, Rossini and Verdi and artists as eclectic as Taylor Swift, David Bowie, One Direction, Dolly Parton and Mariah Carey. Lifelong fans will be especially thrilled to hear the sheer power of The TEN Tenors' signature version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

The TEN Tenors are undoubtedly one of Australia's most successful touring entertainment groups of all time, with more than 2,500 live shows to their credit and more than 90 million people worldwide witnessing their unmistakable charm, camaraderie and vocal power. The year 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the group's creation. No one could possibly have imagined when The TEN Tenors did their first show all those years ago that they would still be touring the world in 2017. The TEN Tenors, certainly have cemented their place as one of the world's most loved classically based contemporary music groups of all time.

Celebrated for their wonderfully vast repertoire, breathtaking arrangements and powerful live performances, The TEN Tenors respectfully tip their hats not only to the great classical tenors and composers, but also contemporary music's most popular artists. From Bowie to Bocelli, an evening with The TEN Tenors is guaranteed to surprise and delight in equal measure.

Amidst their own explosive live concert experiences and remarkable achievements, including six Platinum and Gold records and over 3.5 million concert tickets sold, the TEN have also performed alongside countless music legends including Andrea Bocelli, André Rieu, John Travolta, Nicole Kidman, Geoffrey Rush, Keith Urban, Rod Stewart, Alanis Morissette, Sarah Brightman, Willie Nelson, Katherine Jenkins and Christina Aguilera.

They're no strangers to television either, with iconic appearances on some of the world's biggest broadcast events including performing exclusively for chat show queen Oprah Winfrey on Oprah's "Ultimate Australian Adventure," appearing on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon for an audience of 32 million viewers, in Poland at 2012 UEFA Cup in Warsaw, plus Germany's "Wetten, dass?," "Extreme Home Makeover," "The Today Show" in the United States and many more.

Long-serving member of The TEN, Paul Gelsumini says "The best part of being in this group is being able to sing whatever we want to sing from all music genres, be it classical, rock or even diva pop, and seeing the delight and surprise on audience members' faces in that split moment when they realize what we are singing next; it's such a buzz and so much fun when seemingly conservative audience members get up and dance in their seats."

The group's producer, D-J Wendt adds, "In the early days people only wanted to hear arias, nowadays people are screaming out for pop songs, arias and rock anthems. We promise to give you all of that and much more in our 20th anniversary year. This is a no holds barred show, right from the first song everyone will know that we plan to leave nothing in the tank by the end of the show."
