Described by the BBC as “Australia’s own Bocelli” and praised by Theatre Direct as “a powerhouse voice that could fill a stadium”, nternationally-Acclaimed Tenor Paul Ettore Tabone brings extraordinary vocal power and emotional depth to this spectacular tribute to one of the world’s most beloved voices.
With his golden tone and commanding stage presence, Tabone leads audiences on a sweeping musical journey through Bocelli’s most iconic repertoire. The concert features timeless favourites including The Prayer, Time to Say Goodbye, Canto della Terra, Besame Mucho and more, all performed with Tabone’s signature blend of operatic mastery and theatrical storytelling.
In 2016, Tabone shared the stage with Andrea Bocelli at the Arena di Verona before an audience of 20,000, with the performance broadcast to more than 20 million viewers worldwide.
That milestone appearance, alongside his musical hero, became the inspiration for this heartfelt tribute concert now touring to audiences across Australia.
Tabone is one of Australia’s most accomplished international tenors. His career spans London’s West End and Broadway, appearances at the Sydney Opera House, the National Opera of Bucharest and Teatro Carlo Felice in Italy, as well as record breaking 1,800 performances in The Phantom of the Opera in London. His rare ability to move effortlessly between opera, classical crossover and musical theatre has made him a favourite with audiences both at home and abroad.
This concert experience balances intimacy with grandeur.
Tabone is joined on stage by a world class pianist performing live throughout the evening, with each piece enhanced by rich orchestral arrangements that capture the cinematic scale and emotional depth of Bocelli’s original recordings.
The result is a moving blend of live performance and symphonic atmosphere that fills theatres with warmth and power.
Adding to the excitement, each performance will feature special appearances by outstanding local guest artists. These collaborations bring regional flavour to every concert and celebrate local talent alongside Tabone’s international artistry, ensuring each performance is unique to its community.
From heartfelt ballads to soaring anthems, this concert celebrates not only Bocelli’s extraordinary music but also Tabone’s own remarkable journey, from growing up on a North Queensland sugar cane farm to performing on some of the world’s greatest stages.
For lovers of classical music, crossover and spectacular live performance, Paul Tabone Salutes Andrea Bocelli promises an unforgettable evening of beauty, passion and world class vocal artistry.
