The ‘Rat Pack of Opera’ bring their tour to Sturminster Newton

Tenors Unlimited, fondly known as the Rat Pack of Opera, will bring their new show, Great Songs Tour, to The Exchange in Sturminster Newton on Saturday, October 12th, at 7:30pm. The dynamic duo, Paul Martin and Jem Sharples, will be joined by local choir Gillingham Singers for an evening of musical entertainment that spans opera, musical theatre and pop.
The duo redefined the modern tenor by merging opera, musical theatre and classical music. The UK’s original classical-crossover “man band” have performed alongside stars such as Sting, Lionel Richie, Katherine Jenkins, Beyoncé, Hayley Westenra, Simply Red and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to name a few, and at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall. For 20 years, Tenors Unlimited has been entertaining audiences world-wide, bringing their own blend of wit, humour, charm and vocal arrangements to their performances. Fresh from a UK and USA tour, captivating audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, Tenors Unlimited promises an evening filled with fabulous harmonies and fun repartee.
Jem says, ‘There’s something for everyone in our new show – from Puccini’s Nessun Dorma to Freddie Mercury’s Barcelona, The Pearl Fishers’ Duet and songs from The Greatest Showman. We’ve also included some of our own compositions.’
Their entertaining blend of popular classics, crooner hits and original songs makes for a unique, memorable performance.
In 2019, Tenors Unlimited won the Broadway World Best Touring Show Award in the USA, and their single Who is He? topped UK charts in aid of The Salvation Army.
12th October, 7:30pm, adults £24. For tickets, see stur-exchange.co.uk
