The former tenors will tour Australia next March.
Be warned: they no longer look like this.
Or sound like you remember.
The venues are Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.
Nothing in Alice Springs?

Popular movie star soprano Deanna Durbin left show business and the public eye when she was 27. I have no idea what she looked like when she was 77. Which is what she would have wanted.
This should also begin
“HORROR:”
Paraphrasing the Marschallin in Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier: Don’t they know when the game is over? Obviously the answer is NO! As long as they can extract money from the pockets of those who fall for this fraude, they will continue … or die trying!
I would pay extra to hear them sing Rossini’s Duet for Two Cats.
Here’s a cringe-worthy one for the ages by Bryn Terfel and Thomas Hampson (yikes, where were their agents, or wives, to stop them?):

Whenever I see the Cat Duet mentioned I usually pass very swiftly by, unable to tolerate the arch conceit of the ‘composition’. On this occasion, however, I felt compelled to click on the link, only to regret my move after five seconds!
Now I know where Bacharach got his opening for What’s New Pussycat. But I doubt the Morriconi insertion was authentic…
Horrifying!!!
Idk, they seen like they’ve still got it. Good for em XD
What happened in Verbier used to stay in Verbier — until medici.tv got involved.
Rossini’s Duet for Two Cats is a must for singers to humiliate themselves, especially after their career is long gone.
Why? They both have a gazillion dollars in their bank accounts already. Why do they do this to themselves and to their legacy? Wouldn’t they rather enjoy the gazillions they already have in Acapulco or the Costa Brava, rather than fly all the way to Australia just to make a couple dozen thousand more?
Alice Springs should be counting its blessings!!!
What a sham! One tenor 40 yrs. past his prime and one sexual predator. Almost as good as DIVO ! That’s the state of opera.
Oh, joy.
Even years ago I read a report on a Carreras concert that said something like “This was not an event for a critic.”
Embarrassing, both decades past their prime. Though at least Carreras is not a sexual harasser who deserves boycotting.
Wasn’t it Herbert von Karajan who said “when I reach the end of my career, I will go to the end of the earth”?
In any case, Cape Tribulation would have been a more appropriate venue than Alice Springs.
Actually they do look like this.
Das Katzenduett ist ein wunderbares Musikstück! Schon einmal die Aufnahme mi Christa Ludwig, Walter Berry in der Begleitung von Gerald Moore gehört?
A truly dreadful idea.
