THE THREE WAITERS
Brilliant opera singers for any event.
The unique concept of The Three Waiters involves three talented and highly entertaining opera singers dressing and hoaxing as ‘real’ waiters before grouping together to take the audience through a highly amusing, yet sophisticated show.
Subtly, the performers infiltrate the function as members of the ‘real’ waiting staff. However, all is not what it seems… The audience is given no clue of what is about to come. Over a period of time, and to the surprise of the guests, an unexpected story unfolds culminating in a performance of true ‘Three Tenors’ style.
Be it a dinner party of ten guests or a ballroom of two thousand, the unique structure of the show, along with the vast repertoire and experience of each of the performers allows the act to be easily customised to suit your particular requirements.
