Unforgettable, that鈥檚 what they are...
Print Edition
Il Divo, a male cross-over quartet from the United Kingdom with a signature 鈥減opera鈥 style, will hit Shanghai Oriental Art Center on Wednesday.
They will present a variety of works popular worldwide such as talent show standard 鈥淚 Will Always Love You鈥 initially made famous by Whitney Houston in the movie 鈥淭he Bodyguard,鈥 pop hit 鈥淎ngels,鈥 jazz classic 鈥淯nforgettable,鈥 and an aria from 鈥淭he Magic Flute.鈥
The idea for Il Divo came from British music producer Simon Cowell after listening to a concert by the Three Tenors.
He decided to form a multinational quartet of talented young singers to recreate the sound of Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo. After nearly three years of searching, he put together American tenor David Miller, Spanish baritone Carlos Marin, Swiss tenor Urs Buhler and French pop singer Sebastien Izambard as Il Divo in 2004. The name means 鈥渄ivine performer鈥 in Italian.
The four young men together created their signature 鈥減opera鈥 style that combines pop and opera singing, with themes taken from genres including Latin, folk, ballads, church music, bolero and pop.
The quartet was awarded 鈥淎rtist of the Decade鈥 at the Classic Brit Awards in 2011, in recognition of the massive impact that they had on the classical genre.
Il Divo sold over 25 million albums worldwide from 2004-2011.
