SARASOTA, FL, August 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Joseph Spinella, international tenor sensation, performs a special music and magic show at La Grotta-II in Yonkers on Sunday, September 30th. Returning from his recording sessions with the Macedonian Radio Symphony Orchestra in August, Spinella performs classic Neapolitan songs such as 'O Sole Mio' and 'Santa Lucia,' as well as operatic arias such as the favorite 'Nessun Dorma.' Just for fun, he also performs a little magic on the side.
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.
He 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, in 'Lucia Di Lammermoor.' He has received favorable reviews from fans and critics alike.
"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.
Spinella's voice has often been compared with Pavarotti's; and he has been cited as the world's premiere Pavarotti impersonator. One scene in his new show, Spinella Tenor of Illusions, Spinella in costume and make-up, is indeed an identical double for Pavarotti in voice and mannerism.
Rehearsals for the Tenor of Illusions show begin the first week of October. The illusions show combines powerful, tenor vocals and orchestral music with jaw-dropping magic illusions. Imagine Pavarotti meets David Copperfield at Cirque du Soleil. It is a show unlike any other today. Filming of the show is scheduled for Saturday, October 27th at the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center in Punta Gorda, Florida. Tickets for the filming are available online from the event center.
All of this brings us back to La Grotta II. This performance will the only one in the area for some time, due to the rehearsal and filming schedule. So if you want to catch a fantastic show with a great Italian cuisine, this is the time to do it.
In addition to his classical repertoire, songs from his current CD will be performed. The CD is available on Amazon.com and has been featured on various radio stations in the U.S. The album features poperatic arias and traditional music that exemplifies classic Neapolitan songs. Backed by the Macedonian Radio Symphony Orchestra, this all-Italian album contains 13 songs and displays Spinella's mastery of bell'arte del canto.
This show is a crowd-pleasing concert set in a traditional, family-owned and operated Italian restaurant located in Yonkers, New York. La Grotta-II offers a special 3-course menu for $55 which includes beer, wine or soda. The owner and chef, Franco, specializes in making southern homestyle Italian dishes.
