IL Divo June 26, 2009

IL DIVO – Since coming together in 2004, four of the greatest voices in the world, David Miller, Carlos Marín, Urs Buhler & Sébastien Izambard have spearheaded an entire musical genre by bringing the sound of opera to the world of popular music. With over 22 million albums sold to date, Il Divo continue to confirm performances around the world as part of their massive touring plans for 2009 in support of their fifth album The Promise which is approaching PLATINUM status in the U.S. As a prelude to the tour, Il Divo was invited to perform at the Inaugural Purple Ball honoring our new President Barack Obama on January 20th in Washington D.C.

The 2009 tour, An Evening with Il Divo, kicks off February 21st in Manchester and will perform in 31 European cities before heading to North America and will cross six continents before closing the year in Australia, Japan and South East Asia.

In the U.S., “An Evening with Il Divo” kicks off Friday, May 8th in Washington, DC at the Patriot Center and comes to Sunrise’s BankAtlantic Center on Friday, June 26th.

The new show will be staged and choreographed by William Baker (Kylie, Jamiroquai) on a state of the art set, with a tour wardrobe designed by Giorgio Armani, featuring outfits from Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani and Armani Collezioni collections.

The show will feature repertoire from their five albums and several new songs, with Il Divo onstage the entire evening. They will perform for approximately 90 minutes with a 20 minute intermission integrated into the set (there will be no support).
