Il Divo & Orchestra In Concert
Crowned 'Artist of the Decade' at the Classic Brit Awards earlier this year, the operatic quartet Il Divo will finally hit the road again for a world tour next year, including 13 dates in the UK.
The first leg of the tour will see this phenomenal quartet- Carlos Marin, Sebastien Izambard, David Miller and Urs Buhler – perform at leading venues across Europe and the UK, closing with their first ever live shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London on April 17 & 18.
This is the quartet's first major tour since 2009 when their ‘Evening With Il Divo’ tour saw sold out shows across 130 cities and the group receiving Billboard’s Breakthrough Award for one of the biggest grossing tours of the year.
With a new show designed by Creative Director Brian Burke (Artistic Director of ‘La Reve’ & Celine Dion’s 5 year run of ‘A New Day’ at Caesars Palace, both in Las Vegas), and performed with the Il Divo band and famed orchestras across each city, the 2012 tour promises to incorporate a stunning visual and musical mix of fan favourites as well as premiering songs from their eagerly anticipated new album ‘Wicked Game’.
In the UK & Europe, November 28 will see Il Divo return with their 5th studio album ‘Wicked Game’ including a dramatic reworking of the Chris Isaak classic ‘Wicked Game’, an emotionally beautiful rendering of Roy Orbison’s ‘Crying’ and a heavenly song inspired by Samuel Barber’s ‘Adagio for Strings’ called ‘Dove L’Amore’.
