Paul Ettore Tabone sings Golden Days - Songs from the Movies & Musicals
Aussie West End Star, direct from Her Majesty's Theatre in London's glittering West End, Queensland singer, Tenor Paul Ettore Tabone returns home for a regional Queensland tour in Golden Days - Songs from the Movies & Musicals.
Golden Days is a musical journey of the best songs from movies to musicals throughout the decades. You can expect a variety of songs from the ‘Golden Age’ of music, incorporating singers such as Mario Lanza and Perry Como and songs from Disney all the way to Enio Morricone. This show has it all and will certainly be a wonderful trip down memory lane.
After performing four years in London's ‘The Phantom of The Opera’ and having released his debut album ‘This Is Me’, Paul has been dubbed “Australia’s own Andrea Boccelli” after reaching #1 in the Classical Music Charts in Australia, the United Kingdom and United States of America.
In support of local and regional talent this show will feature up and coming regional artists. Having grown up in Ingham and despite his international career as one of Australia’s most successful exports, Paul continues to promote the wealth of talent in regional Australia.
Join the ‘Tenor From Oz™’ as he takes you on a journey through the songs of stage and screen, from opera, films and musicals such as The Student Prince, The Great Caruso, Toast of New Orleans, Tosca, Beauty and The Beast and many more. A day of music you’ll never forget!
Enjoy free tea, coffee and biscuits before the show (from 10am), Thanks to the the Friends of the MECC.
