IL Divo With Nikki Yanofsky

The world's foremost classical crossover quartet IL DIVO announced their North American 2012 tour last week and have just added Nikki Yanofsky to a number of the Canadian dates. The rising young Canadian jazz-pop prodigy Nikki Yanofsky has been invited to open for Il Divo at select North American shows. An incandescent live performer who became the youngest artist ever to headline the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2006 (she was 12), Nikki has since recorded two successful albums--the live… Show more Ella...Of The I Swing in 2008 and her studio-debut Nikki in 2010. Her single, "I Believe" achieved the highest first-week sales of any Canadian artist in SoundScan history.
The Il Divo world concert tour will see this phenomenal quartet- Carlos Marin, Sebastien Izambard, David Miller and Urs Buhler - perform at leading venues across Europe, UK, Australia, South Africa, Japan & Asia in advance of their stateside shows.
Their most recent "An Evening With Il Divo" tour, which spanned most of 2009, saw sold out shows across 130 cities. Il Divo received the Billboard Breakthrough Award for one of the biggest grossing tours of the year. With a new show designed by Creative Director Brian Burke (Artistic Director of 'La Reve' and Celine Dion's 5 year run of 'A New Day' at Caesars Palace, both in Las Vegas), and performed with the Il Divo band and famed orchestras across each city, the 2012 tour promises to incorporate a stunning visual and musical mix of fan favourites as well as premiering songs from their eagerly anticipated new album Wicked Game.
"Il Divo is the perfect modern fusion of opera, theatre and concert performance. It is a privilege as a director to create a visual landscape inviting the audience on a theatrical journey of their music," said Brian Burke.
