Did you know…
The Ten Tenors are also known affectionately as “TTT.”
TTT’s biggest break came in 2002, when The Ten Tenors were invited to perform at the German entry selection event in anticipation of the Eurovision Song Contest. Within hours, they had sold out an entire tour and were well on their way to becoming one of the most successful touring acts in Germany. Touring European and Asian countries followed and in 2003 they made their U.S. debut. These days, The Ten Tenors circle the globe 10 months of the year, performing around 250 shows on five different continents around the world.
TTT got its start when ten young opera students from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane, Australia, banded together to form what was then largely a corporate act, the group’s performances were few and far between and were essentially just a part-time affair, providing the members with a bit of money to help them through their studies.
TTT performs a diverse repertoire including Queen standards, a Bee Gees medley, and ABBA’s Dancing Queen, and switch gears mid-set performing opera tunes and native Australian tunes (including Men at Work). Their most recent album Here’s to the Heroes is heavily influenced by the music of John Barry.

Love the Tenors! Bring them back next year and I’ll take them canoeing on the Santa Fe River! Perfect holiday fare.

We had never seen the Ten Tenors prior to their performance at The Phillips Center last Tuesday evening, as a matter of fact I had never heard OF them. They were awesome, they have enough interaction within the group and with the audience to keep you attentive as they move around the stage performing. Their voices created a volume that was spectacular and so moving. What a pleasant and entertaining experience.

The Ten Tenors was a great show. All 8 of us really enjoyed it and would go again in the future if they came back.

Hello! I loved this group and how gorgeously their voices blended, as well as how creatively arranged some of their pieces were. I will say that I was, by far, most moved by the opera pieces and the ballads. While the 80’s and disco medleys were entertaining, I thought their extraordinary talent, both as individuals and a group,was somewhat “wasted”, since I’ve heard less accomplished groups do similar numbers with equal entertainment value. That said, they are incredibly talented and I was glad to have seen the show. I definitely enjoyed it.

To start I enjoyed the pre-concert dislogue with a few of the group. I have seen other tenor groups including Il Divo and clearly think this is the best. I drive up from Ocala for the concerts so I have high expectations. TTT hit a 10 (no pun).

This was my second concert of The Ten Tenors and both times I was blown away by their performances. Fantastic show! Great voices, terrific selection of songs, good comedic routines. I recommend this concert to everyone I know.

Absolutely marvelous performance! This is not your father’s “opera”! Bring your teenagers–I plan to do so next time and I will try to get seats in the front row. Thank you for bringing them to Gainesville!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Ten Tenors! We attended the pre-show interviews as well. I will definitely attend their next visit to the Center. Thank you!

The performance was fantastic. My wife and I enjoyed all of it very much.

This is one of the best shows of the season. We saw it the last time they were here and it was as enjoyable this time. The talent level is awesome. The variety of numbers makes the performance accepted by all.
We would see them again.

An excellent performance by the Ten Tenors. Hope they will return to Gainesville soon.

November 10th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
They are just great….have seen them 3 times and I never get tired

One of the best performances we have seen at the Phillips Center! Something for everybody. We were among the many who gave them a standing ovation. Bring them back as much as you can.

I thoroughly enjoyed the TTT…They were handsome, entertaining, clever and with wonderful powerful voices… some more outstanding than others, but none weak and tame…..
It would have been interesting having the Sound System shut off for a song to hear the true character of their voices without the amplification.

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

One of the most entertaining performances we have attended at the center. The Ten Tenors are terrific: electric, charming, talented and able to capture the musical respect of any audience with diverse musical genres or ages.
Would definitely attend a repeat performance as well as recommend to others. Bring them back!!!

A very entertaining performance. First time to see them and would return to another performance. Totally enjoyable……..
