Three Sicilian Tenors

The celebrated three SICILIAN TENORS,Caruso,Scaccio and Vitale lend their voices to the music of Italy, Broadway and Hollywood. Their united forces create a whirlwind of bella musica and light-hearted fun…not to mention the requisite “one-upmanship” expected when tenors gather! Their nationally-acclaimed performances stretch from Carnegie Hall to Las Vegas! The three tenors all have Sicilian ancestry.
