Signature Series
Russell Watson with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra
Guest choir New Dublin Voices

In a concert originally scheduled for April, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra is proud to present an evening with star tenor Russell Watson. His last trip had to be cancelled at the last minute because of the volcanic ash cloud and indeed Russell Watson's life has never been short of drama all round! A breakthrough performance of Nessun Dorma at Old Trafford, the amazing success of his multi-million-selling albums and battling his way back from two tumours to remain one of the world's top classical crossover artists.

In his RTÉ Concert Orchestra début last year, he was showered with flowers and gifts by an adoring audience. Now, joined by guest choir New Dublin Voices, 'The People's Tenor' returns for what is sure to be another memorable evening. An occasion not to be missed.

Advice to ticket-holders: Tickets for the original April date will be valid for the new August date; a refund will be made available for those who are unable to attend. Customers are asked to contact the National Concert Hall Box Office directly on 01 417 0000 for further information.

'Watson is a singing phenomenon, and enjoys the sort of front-row adulation reserved for hunky superstars. The poor old concert hall didn't know what hit it.' Sunday Business Post, 2009
