Founded in 2018, The Four Italian Tenors came together with a singular mission: to share the timeless beauty of Italian opera and song with audiences around the world. Blending heartfelt passion with virtuosic talent, their performances have earned international acclaim for both emotional depth and technical brilliance.

Following their debut in Rome, the quartet embarked on a landmark U.S. tour in 2019, performing 57 concerts across major cities. With their soaring voices, original arrangements, and piano accompaniment, they captivated audiences and received rave reviews โ€” firmly establishing themselves as global ambassadors of Italian music.

Continuing to expand their international presence, The Four Italian Tenors โ€” comprised of Ugo Tarquini, Gianni Leccese, Alessandro Fantoni, and Angelo Forte โ€” are set to make their highly anticipated debut tour of Ireland in October 2026, marking a new milestone in their ever-evolving journey.
