andrea del principe
World-Class Italian Tenor
“When I was four, standing on the living room's armchair, I used to sing along with the records of Gigli and Enrico Caruso, trying to make a voice ‘big’ like theirs. It took more effort to stand balanced on my little legs, yet my will was already strong. This is the first memory of the passion I have for singing, a passion that burns within me every day of my life."
In 2002 Andrea performed his professional debut at the Teatro Regio (Italy) with a repertoire drawn from Verdi and Puccini's operas. The audience was surprised when he continued with “New York, New York” and other popular songs, but it proved to be a success.
Andrea has a classical education and training, but has since developed the techniques he applies to his "smooth" passages from lyric to pop. “I love to speak to people’s hearts, choosing to interpret a song by changing the style of the sound according to the meaning of the words and music.”
In the tradition of the Great Italian Tenors and well-known American Crooners, Andrea effortlessly blends styles to make it uniquely his own and in the process, delighting audiences all over the world.
