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.
