Una furtiva lagrima
Libiamo nei lieti calici
E lucevan le stelle
La donna e’ mobile
Nessun dorma
Con te partiro’
La voce del silenzio
Vivo per lei
The prayer
Perfect Symphony
Caruso
Non ti scordar di me
Mattinata
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Tu che m’hai preso il cuor
Parlami d’amore Mariù
Quando quando quando
That’s amore
Torna a Surriento
O paese do sole
O sudato nnammurato
Funiculì funiculà
Core n’grato
O sole mio
Passione
Santa Lucia
I'm able to learn song if requested and agreed in advance.

His performance during the wedding dinner elevated the entire atmosphere and became one of the highlights of the day. Guests are still talking about it weeks later, and many commented that it was one of the most memorable parts of the celebration.
Beyond his exceptional talent, he was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Professional, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what he does, he made the experience seamless from start to finish.
Anyone looking to create a truly special and elegant atmosphere at their wedding or event should not hesitate to book The Tenor. He created memories that will stay with us and our guests for a lifetime.
Highly recommended."
