BEYOND THE ORIGINAL
“Beyond the Original” redefines musical expression as male vocalists reinterpret iconic female songs, and female vocalists infuse legendary male anthems with newfound depth and meaning.
This seamless blend of modern artistry, with a touch of operatic grandeur, is enriched by dramatic harmonies soaring over the masterful arrangements of the Silver Dawn Band, as they perfectly complement the evening’s vocal performances.
Featuring standout talents—Beatrice, Francesca, Luke, and Sass—this show offers unforgettable renditions that bridge the worlds of classic, modern, and contemporary music. Experience a celebration of voice, harmony, and reinvention, where every note is reimagined and every performance transcends the boundaries of the original.
