The Three Waiters
Operatic Duels
The company of tenors posing as waiters has sung for the operatic greats themselves - and enthralled corporate audiences from Lapland to the States. The performance takes place during dinner, culminating in a tongue-in-cheek contest to settle which is the most romantic language: English, Italian or French.
Biography
Contrary to appearances, The Three Waiters are not waiters but professional actors and singers. They simply pretend to be real waiters before eventually gathering and unleashing a performance in true Three Tenors style.
Dressed in uniform identical to the waiting staff, the performance begins with an impromptu aria from a well known opera or a burst from a popular Broadway show. The audience soon realise that all is not as it seems.
As the evening progresses another waiter succumbs to a similarly spontaneous rendition. As the two stage an impromptu vocal 'duel', a third enters the fray and lead the others in a virtuoso finale. Thanks to a broad repertoire, the act can be customised to suit any audience.
The original Three Waiters performed for Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo, receiving a standing ovation from the Three Tenors themselves. They have since multiplied, with a substantial pool of classically trained singers from which to draw.
‘Everyone was totally convinced. The Three Waiters were a brilliant addition to our event.’
“A fabulous performance.”
They were charming and a pleasure to work with and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the act.
Entertainingly presented I was delighted with how enthusiastically people joined in. Ours was not a natural audience for opera but people really enjoyed the performance as well as the singing and it was amazing how long some people took before they realised that therewas something moren than a little odd about these particualr waiters. The element of surprise and the fact that the guys were waiting tables and clearing glasses before they started to sing all added to the effect. We had some technical issues before the start but the guys were very professional in accomodating us.
It was not just an entertaining, but a very clever and well thought through performance. The entertainers got everyone involved. Most of the guests came back to me saying how unexpected and entertaining the performance was.
the 3 Waiters were really good, people liked the subtle interaction during dinner and were surprised. Overwhelming great feedback about them
