“The Enticing Sound of Il Divo: Combining Opera, Theater, and Modern Pop Music”

“Il Divo” gained world fame by combining the sounds of opera, theater and modern pop music in their musical sound, which permeates the full-sounding harmonies characteristic of the quartet. “Il Divo” is composed by Swiss tenor Urs Bühler (Urs Buehler), American tenor David Miller (David Miller), French pop singer and songwriter Sebastien Isambard (Sebastien Izambard), as well as the special guest of this concert tour, the American baritone Steven la Brie, who not only provides a multidimensional insight into the sound of classical music in pop music arrangements, but also offers concertgoers a distinctly multicultural concert program, singing it in Spanish, English, Italian and French.

The origins of “Il Divo” can be traced back to 2003, when music producer and TV personality Simon Cowell wanted to create a new and innovative music project with the aim of using elements of classical music in combination with popular songs. The newly formed musical project’s debut album Il Divo, released in 2004, achieved widespread popularity and considerable commercial success. The album, which included original songs and a new version of the super hit “Unbreak My Heart”, was well received by both listeners and music critics and soon became the focus of the international music industry, topping the music charts in a total of 13 countries.
