Famous Tenor, Joseph Spinella, Sings Classical Neapolitan Songs at Biancas Ristorante in North Fort Myers, Florida

SARASOTA, FL, August 20, 2012

Internationally-renowned tenor, Joseph Spinella will be the headlining artist performing two shows at 5 pm and 7:30 pm at Bianca's Ristorante. This is the first live show following Spinella's recording session with the Macedonian Radio Symphony Orchestra in August. He was working in Macedonia recording for his next album, scheduled to be released in 2013. This new album includes Italian classics plus a few new songs written for his new project, 'Spinella Tenor of Illusions' combining classical music with magic illusions.

A native of Sarasota, Florida, Spinella was awarded a scholarship to Manhattan School of Music in New York City. A few years ago, he was discovered by Paul Nadler, one of the Metropolitan Opera conductors and was invited to work with Metropolitan Opera coaches in NYC. This began his regular sessions with Joan Dorneman, who was also Luciano Pavarotti's vocal coach for thirty years.

Spinella has garnered a large following overseas and has appeared with numerous orchestras, most notably the Israeli Philharmonic under the baton of famed-conductor, Zubin Mehta. He has also performed in Florida with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra and is the conductor for the Sarasota Mandolin Orchestra.

"Spinella's voice reminds us of the great tenors like Caruso, Lanza and Pavarotti. The expressive tenor voice and delivery of these songs, by Spinella, demonstrates to us why they remain classics," reports World Book and News.

For the show at Bianca's, he includes are standards like Santa Lucia, Funiculi Funicula and O Sole Mio. He also performs songs from his current album, 'Spinella Tenor of Illusions,' highlighting classic Italian favorites, such as Rondine al Nido.

The album features the most beloved Italian songs - traditional Neapolitan and opera arias - sung by master tenor, Joseph Spinella. The album has been featured on various radio stations in the U.S. Backed by the Macedonian Radio Symphony Orchestra, this all-Italian album contains 13 songs and displays Spinella's mastery of bell'arte del canto.
