Mark Vincent: A Tribute To Mario Lanza
Australia's very own tenor Mark Vincent will be sending shivers down our spines this July through to October when he pays tribute to the late American tenor and 'The Great Caruso' star, Mario Lanza. Vincent will be shaking venues in Wyong, Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Griffith, Shepparton, Bendigo, Tamworth, Albury, Sale, Warragul and Port Macquarie with his passionate, emotive and powerful voice.
Singing from the age of 15, Mark Vincent has gone on to become one of Australia's most beloved tenors. He has released nine consecutive #1 ARIA Classical Crossover Albums, earning accolades both nationally and internationally.
His seventh album, A Tribute To Mario Lanza, was released by Sony Music Australia in 2017. It debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album Charts, and at #1 on the ARIA Classical Crossover Charts. The album went on to be the highest selling ARIA Classical Crossover album of that year.
Thanks to virtual technology, Vincent and Lanza's hair-raising duet of 'Because You're Mine' has been made possible in the album. The duet made headlines and received the patronage of Mario Lanza's daughter, Ellisa Lanza Bregman, who gave permission for the re-recoding of the virtual duet and said, "I'm pleased to allow my father's recoded voice to be joined on this historic recording by the exciting young tenor, Mark Vincent."
Like many other tenors, Mark Vincent discovered Mario Lanza through the film, 'The Great Caruso'. He describes that moment, saying, "Throughout the whole movie I was in awe and struck by the incredible beauty of operatic singing and the urgency and intensity of his voice. It has been a life-long dream of mine to record an album as a tribute to an artist who was an inspiration to many modern singers including The Three Tenors, Andrea Bocelli, and even Elvis Presley. I am so proud to be the first Australian tenor to have recorded this album and tour this show across Australia."
Check the dates below and let Mark Vincent tickle your ears whilst piercing your hearts with his performances of songs and arias made popular by Hollywood legend, Mario Lanza!
