AN EVENING WITH IL DIVO IN SINGAPORE

In 2004, four of the greatest voices in the world emerged to spearhead an entire musical genre by bringing the sound of opera to the world of popular music.

Now, as one of the most successful groups in the world with over 22 million albums sold, IL DIVO have embarked on a massive World Tour which will be seen in 32 countries and 81 cities in 2009 including Singapore on September 21.

This will be the second time that IL DIVO is playing at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
 
AN EVENING WITH IL DIVO signals a striking departure from the group’s two previous tours.

For the show, Il Divo worked with Giorgio Armani on wardrobe and Creative Director William Baker, who is best known for styling some of the most iconic pop figures of the past decade, including Kylie Minogue, Victoria Beckham, Britney Spears, Garbage and Jamiroquai.

The Toronto Sun describes the visuals as “an enormous stage and video screen that would make even the biggest rock bands in the world jealous.” 

With a hi-tech stage and a digital light show, the sharp and seductive quartet is now able to showcase songs from their four studio albums against an even more spectacular backdrop.

Utterly modern yet thoroughly appreciative of the group’s traditional strengths, the combination of a fresh artistic vision and Il Divo’s proven talent is set to take fans on a stirring musical and visual journey.

With over 22 million albums sold to date, Il Divo is credited with spearheading an entire musical genre by bringing the sound of opera to the world of popular music continue to confirm performances around the world as part of their massive touring plans for 2009 in support of The Promise which is approaching PLATINUM status in the U.S.

IL DIVO, comprised of American tenor David Miller, popular French singer Sébastien Izambard, Swiss tenor Urs Bühler, and Spanish baritone Carlos Marín, were initially brought together by pop impresario Simon Cowell in 2004, following an extensive worldwide audition process.

The virtuoso blending of operatic technique with romantic and popular song took the world by storm, with sales of over 22 million.

Their first three albums, Il Divo, Ancora and Siempre, scored 39 #1 chart positions across the world.

The group also released the platinum album The Christmas Collection in 2005. Sales of their debut self-titled album smashed Led Zeppelin's 25 year-old record of being the only band to achieve a number 1 album without a single release.

The Il Divo world tour is produced by Live Nation Global Touring and by arrangement with Octagon Music and Syco Music.
