Three Tenors Opera Singers in Scotland

Three Tenors

So, you'd like a bit of Opera for your party, wedding, or event but don't know your aria from your recitative. Well, don't worry, our Three Tenors are here to help.

Our Three Tenors have sung in most of Scotland's theatres and performed at many corporate evenings in prestigious venues such as Gleneagles, St Andrews Bay Hotel, and the St Andrews Golf Hotel. They have also performed at Hogmanay and Burns nights all over Scotland.

Their repertoire is very flexible and consists of Opera, Neapolitan songs, Show numbers, Music theatre, and Scots songs.

They are completely self-contained and bring a small PA system with them, which provides a full orchestral backing to their performances.

Their performances at weddings or functions lasts twenty minutes. For concert performances they can provide a two hour programme with twenty-minute interval.

Party Suprise

One of their most popular services is to attend someone's party and act like one of the guests. Then, at the appropriate moment, they burst into famous operatic songs. After the initial shock, the guests are soon applauding and calling for more.

Wedding Suprise

For weddings, the three tenors dress up as waiters and then burst into song during the meal. We can assure you, the guests will remember your wedding for years to come!

Recommended Without Reservation

If your are looking for something absolutely fantastic for your wedding or function, then we recommend The Three Tenors without reservation.

They were wonderful I have been inundated with positive comments from so many of our guests. They were also very nice people and spent some considerable time chatting with our guests.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone wanting to make any occasion one to remember.

I just wanted to say how wonderful the Three Tenors were at our daughter's wedding on Saturday. Everyone was so surprised and the guys put on a fantastic performance, involving absolutely everyone.

I hadn't told anyone - not even my husband - and to see the look on their faces was priceless!
Thanks again!

Hi Michael,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the wonderful team of artists you helped me to gather for the barmitzvah. The Mellowtones were a dream and the crowd fell in love with them, the singing waiters brought the house down and the caricaturist and tatooist were perfect and went down a storm.
It is always difficult choosing artists without having seen them, but you guided me perfectly and for that I am truly grateful.
My next barmitzvah is in a couple of years so I will back in touch, if not before. Please would you pass on my best to all those who were there on the night and thank them for making is so special.
Kind regards,
Gwen Reid, February, 2013

Just wanted to send a message to pass on my thanks for all your help in arranging the Singing Waiters for my Gran's 80th Birthday Dinner Party. The singers were amazing and blew everyone away! The family were so pleased to have such a great surprise for my Gran - once they picked their jaws up off the floor that is. Other diners approached us afterwards to wish her Happy Birthday and say how glad they were in the right place at the right time to enjoy the music. A real success.
Thanks again and please pass on my appreciation to the artists.
Many Thanks."

Thank you."

"To The Magic Agency,
Sorry, I did mean to e mail you and thank you for providing the two fantastic singers (Singing Waiters). I have been at the wet Highland show for 4 days!!
Most of our guests got a huge surprise when the Tenor and the Soprano started to sing when my guests were eating their main course. It made the evening as they sang so well and not too loud so that people good still talk about the surprise...
There has been an incredible buzz regarding my 60th birthday party with my friends due to your singing waiters and the Carnegie Lodge hotel in Tain thought it fantastic too.
Thanks again."
James Gordon, Birthday party, June, 2012.

"The Tenors (Singing Waiters) were booked as a surprise for our daughter's wedding. We had seen a similar act a few years ago in Dubai and were looking forward to seeing the reaction to them from our guests.

My husband and I had fun trying to identify the "waiters" serving tables at the reception - they blended perfectly. Nobody had any idea what was about to happen!

We chose to have a soprano with the two guys Bob and Bruce, this was great as the songs from the musicals they performed had lots of people joining in. One of our Ushers clearly enjoyed the attention he got from ??? (sorry, I've forgotten her name, I'm sure you can add it) at the table.

The standing ovation they received at the end was testament to their performance - topped off by the encore Nessun Dorma. A perfect end to a fantastic set. In fact the Cardrona hotel asked for their details as they'd not seen or heard anything like them previously.

Neil, the caricaturist also provided a topic of conversation for our guests. I'm not sure how many people he managed to draw but every time I tried to sit down with him there was always a queue. I think people quite liked the opportunity to have a quiet five minutes and to take away a memento of their day.

Many thanks for your professionalism, Michael and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your agency to anyone looking for something different to make their special day.

Everyone we spoke to were blown away by the Tenors and said it was probably the best wedding reception they had ever been to. Katy and Danny definitely had a day to remember.

Hope to use you again in the future. Many thanks for everything.

Kind regards."

Gill Morrin, Daughter's wedding, May, 2012.

To The Magic Agency,
A big thank you for the performance by The Tenors. Everyone who was at our Gala Dinner thought they were wonderful. A real talking point with all our guests.
Eileen Clarkson, Campaigns and Media Officer, Action on Hearing Loss Scotland, March, 2012.

"Hi Michael,
Please pass my thanks on to John and Fraser they were absolutely wonderful.
Thanks."
Laura MacDonald, Training Consultant, Cigna International Europe, January, 2012.

"Hi Michael,
Would just like to say a big THANK YOU for the two Tenors at my son Kevin's wedding to Lea-Ann at Brig a Doon on 4/11/11. They were absolutely tremendous and what a surprise for the bride and groom and all the guests. The reaction from everyone was totally unbelievable and they were so professional. My husband and I were apprehensive as to how the guests would react but everyone loved it, the talking point still. They really helped make Kevin and Lea-Ann's wedding day one nobody will forget. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again. Mr and Mrs. Prior, wedding, November, 2011.

"Dear Michael,
This is a quick note to express my immense satisfaction with the Two Tenors. Great voices and great delivery and OH what a surprise for the guests. The bridal couple especially appreciated the special request ("In My Life") they performed on their wedding day.
Thank you also for arranging the Amici Trio.
Best regards,"

"Hello Michael,
I thought I must let you know that Bob and his colleague who we had to perform at my 60th birthday celebrations at the Drumossie Hotel, Inverness on Saturday evening were fantastic, and most accommodating.

I am sorry I cannot recall their names but they were superb and all the guests were left breathless after the performance. We would certainly recommend your agency.
Best Regards,"
Jessica Martin, Mother of the groom, 2011.

"Michael,
Just a quick note to say the two singers were absolutely brilliant on Saturday night. I would appreciate it if you could convey not only my thanks but everybody there as we all enjoyed their singing. Many asked me where I got the singers from so hopefully, you will see some business come your way. The evening would have been a success with or without the singers but they just added that something special. Many thanks for all your assistance and I wish you every success for the future.
Best wishes,"
Laurence Printie, Birthday Party, November, 2010.

I just wanted to thank you both for your contribution to my daughter's wedding on Friday. Both the bride and groom were surprised and thoroughly delighted with your performance, as were us all, and it was a great talking point throughout the day. Thank you again."
Valerie Crawford, July, 2010.

"How can I possibly thank you, Declan and Bruce for such a fantastic performance. You are all so professional and what beautiful voices you have. Hopefully once all the sums are added up we will have made a clear profit of £3500 for the day. This money will go in full towards the purchase of another Haemodiafiltration Machine for The Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Yorkhill, Glasgow. This machine is a very necessary piece of equipment and will benefit children from all over Scotland.
Our very grateful thanks goes to all three of you for your support and we will "Sing" your praises at every opportunity although not as tunefully as you."
Mrs. Sheena Dunsmore, Manager, Kidney Kids Scotland, 2010.
