A Tribute to Luciano Pavarotti starring Michael Amante

Michael Amante returns to the Lyric with a heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest tenors of all time.  Amante, hailed by Tony Bennett as “the next Mario Lanza,” is the American tenor who can sing it all.  Whether he is commanding the vocal volleys of Puccini or melting the tender phrases of “O Sole Mio,” Amante rewrites the book on anybody’s idea of what a tenor can be.

One of America’s most versatile artists, Amante sings in a variety of languages and styles, moving effortlessly from classical to pop, arias to show tunes, Italian favorites to Gospel.  He has performed to sold-out audiences across the country in such distinguished venues as New York’s Lincoln Center, Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh.
