Alessandro Safina is an Italian tenor who mixes classical opera with pop music.
Born to a family of musicians, he started singing as a child.
But while studying classical music, he drew inspiration from bands like U2, Genesis and The Clash, among others. Later, the combination of the two styles helped him to become successful.
Odd as it may seem, a large number of his fans comes from the Netherlands where his first album “Insieme Te,” although in Italian, became platinum in the blink of an eye.
Safina uses his talent far and wide: from singing together with Ewan McGregor in “Moulin Rouge” musical to acting in popular TV series “The Clone.”
Sunday, March 27, 7 p.m., Palats Ukraina, 103 Velyka Vasylkivska St., 247-2303. Tickets: Hr 100-1750.
