HUNKY operatic pop vocal group Il Divo will be setting pulses racing in Bournemouth with a date at the BIC on April 10.

Their most recent ‘An Evening With Il Divo’ tour which spanned most of 2009, saw sold-out shows across 130 cities and the group receive Billboard’s Breakthrough Award for one of the biggest grossing tours of the year.

With a new show featuring the Il Divo band and famed orchestras across each city, the 2012 tour promises to incorporate a stunning visual and musical mix of fan favourites as well as premiering songs from their eagerly anticipated new album ‘Wicked Game’.

“Il Divo is the perfect modern fusion of opera, theatre and concert performance.

It is a privilege as a director to create a visual landscape inviting the audience on a theatrical journey of their music,” says Brian Burke, creative director.

Last year, Il Divo released their fifth studio album Wicked Game including a dramatic reworking of the Chris Isaak classic of the same name.

It also featured an emotional rendering of Roy Orbison’s Crying and a song inspired by Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings.
