After years of spectacular performances around the world, The Opera Boys are taking to the stage for their FINAL EVER TOUR and they’re bringing a very special guest with them… MR PAUL POTTS, the first-ever winner of Britain’s Got Talent!

Paul captured millions of hearts with his unforgettable rendition of Nessun Dorma and has since performed more than 1,500 shows across 45 countries. Now, he joins forces with one of the UK’s leading classical-crossover groups for a spectacular celebration of opera, musical theatre and modern classics.

Expect soaring vocals, stunning four-part harmonies, powerhouse solos and plenty of unforgettable moments from two incredible musical forces. When the curtain falls on this tour, it really will be time to say goodbye🥹
