Elton at Tony Bennett opera debut
Wednesday, September 14 2011 |
Tony Bennett makes his debut at Metropolitan Opera House on September 18, 2011.
When Tony Bennett makes his debut at his sold out performance at the Metropolitan Opera House on September 18, 2011, he will be joined by Aretha Franklin, Sir Elton John and Alejandro Sanz for special duet appearances.
Franklin, Elton and Sanz all recorded with Bennett for his Duets CD projects: Elton John appeared on the first CD, DUETS in 2006; and Aretha Franklin and Alejandro Sanz recorded with the singer for the forthcoming follow up CD, DUETS II, set for release on September 20, 2011.
The evening at the Metropolitan Opera will also mark the official celebration of Tony's 85th birthday where he will be honored at a post-concert gala hosted by Alec Baldwin. The gala is a benefit for Exploring the Arts, the non-profit organization started by Bennett and his wife Susan, to support arts education in public schools. Over $2.5M has been raised for the evening thus far.
Among the celebrated guests expected to attend the concert and gala are: Richard Gere, Bruce Willis, Katie Couric, Aretha Franklin, Matthew Broderick, Martha Stewart, Joy and Regis Philbin, Jane and Mitch Winehouse, among others.
