- Contributor Description:
IL Divo is one of a few international stars to have performed at a New year’s Eve TV gala. As a further mark of success to their voices & unique operatic arrangements spearheading an entire musical genre over the past 7 years, today the world’s foremost classical crossover group IL DIVO announce a massive 4th world tour for 2012, set to travel across 6 continents. Gehua-LiveNation is thrilled to bring the world tour back to China to play two very special live shows at Shanghai Grand Stage on Tuesday February 28, 2012 and the MasterCard Center （fomerly the Wukesong Arena） in Beijing on Thursday March 1, 2012 .
Their most recent ‘An Evening With IL Divo’ tour which spanned most of 2009, saw sold out shows across 130 cities and the group receive Billboard’s Breakthrough Award for one of the biggest grossing tours of the year.
“Il Divo have launched onto the world stage on a scale matched by only a couple of other new acts globally over the past few years. This is a tribute to the guys and their incredible talent but also a sign of people all over the world embracing their music and the style of show they deliver” John Giddings, Il Divo’s Agent
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’.
“IL Divo is the perfect modern fusion of opera, theatre and concert performance. It is a privilege as a director to create a visual landscape inviting the audience on a theatrical journey of their music” Brian Burke, Creative Director. =
