The world's foremost classical crossover quartet IL DIVO announced their North American 2012 tour last week and have invited rising young Canadian jazz-pop prodigy Nikki Yanofsky to open 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 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.
Tickets are available through Ticket Atlantic.
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.
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 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.
