Alfie Boe announced for Roundhay Festival in Leeds - full details
This will be a performance well worth watching
Multi-platinum artist Alfie Boe OBE has been revealed as a special guest at an extraordinary classical concert at Roundhay Festival this July.
Boe will appear in All Things Orchestral, which will be hosted by Myleene Klass at Roundhay Park on Sunday July 5.
The classical music experience will take audiences on a summer evening’s journey through classical music, both traditional and modern.
Boe is one of Britain’s most celebrated and best-loved tenors, admired for his rich, powerful voice and his remarkable ability to cross effortlessly between opera, musical theatre, and popular music.
The singer’s performance as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables at the 25th Anniversary Concert in 2010 brought him international acclaim and cemented his reputation as one of the greatest interpreters of the role.
Meanwhile, his collaborations with Michael Ball — including the record-breaking albums Together, Together Again, and Back Together, have become some of the fastest-selling releases of the decade.
All Things Orchestral is part of the first-ever Roundhay Festival which will also see performances from Lewis Capaldi and Pitbull from July 3-5.
