OBSERVER: Patrizio Buane
Good looks and a great voice are hallmarks of Neapolitan pop crooner Patrizio Buane, who is heading to Australian shores in early December.
This will be his 20th anniversary Australian tour, which should delight his many fans down under.
It’s 20 years since Patrizio launched his debut album, and on this tour he will be joined by Australian-Italian classical mezzo-soprano Silvia Colloca.
Silvia’s background is in music theatre and opera, including the role of Orfeo in Orfeo ed Eurydice.
Her 2022 debut album, Sing Like an Italian, was number one on the Aria Classical/Crossover chart and she has performed concerts with Italian blind tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Patrizio will soon release his 20th Anniversary album, NapoLatino, with 20 new songs that celebrate his Neapolitan heritage.
The album also includes Spanish and Latin songs, and as well as hits like Besame mucho, it has songs composed by Patrizio.
Patrizio is a big fan of coming to Australia with his concerts.
“I never imagined the music would carry me around the world and be so warmly embraced in Australia – this tour is a celebration of that journey and I can’t wait to share it with my Australian fans,” Patrizio says.
Producer Paul Dainty describes Patrizio as an extraordinary performer who has a special connection with Australian audiences that has stood the test of time.
Patrizio’s many Australian fans can see their idol on Sunday December 7 at the Palais Theatre, and tickets are on sale now at ticketmaster.com.au
