The Celtic Tenors
SOPAC Theater

"a thoughtful fusion of opera and trad...their a capella 'Danny Boy' quite literally breathes new life into a tired old standard and serves to illustrate the sheer innovation of 'the Celtic Tenor sound'...it's a breath of fresh air to see real talent" - Sunday Independent (Ireland)

Ireland's most successful crossover artists, The Celtic Tenors have been pioneering a new style of performance, melding together elements of classical, folk and pop. Each tenor expresses a distinct musical style influenced by their individual regions of Ireland. Performing popular standards, classic ballads and pub favorites, all with the Irish gift of story, The Celtic Tenors bring the Emerald Isle to all who still call Ireland home. SOPAC presents this very special Saint Patrick's Day event that will delight those of Irish heritage and all who enjoy exceptional music.
