Carly Paoli the Mansfield-born, British/Italian soprano, and star of the classical and crossover worlds, has been confirmed as a Special Guest on Alfie Boe’s forthcoming tour Alfie Boe - Encore which will be at theatres around the UK this summer. Carly, who is a Classical Brit nominee and regular in the charts, has performed on many of the world’s great stages and will be appearing on 12 dates from 1 – 17 June 2024.
Carly and the Tony Award winning tenor, Alfie Boe, first met when Alfie worked with Carly on her second TV special that is set to air later this year. With a broad repertoire to choose from, Carly’s set will include interpretations of Bridge Over Troubled Water, Time To Say Goodbye, Never Enough and O Mio Babbino Caro amongst others.
Discussing the tour Carly commented “One of the greatest joys for a performer is to work with artists they admire. Alfie Boe is one of those people and I am thrilled to be appearing as his special guest on his Encore Tour.”
Carly’s star continues to shine and since bursting onto the music scene she has sung for members of the Royal Family at Windsor Castle and St James’ Palace, at the Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Variety Performance and at Carnegie Hall in New York. Following her concert at London’s Cadogan Hall, the critic David Mellor called her a ‘special talent’ under the headline “Nobody Does it Better”.
In 2016 Carly’s version of Ave Maria was heard by Pope Francis who commented that she had “the voice of an angel” and was chosen as the theme for his Jubilee Year of Mercy. That same year Carly hosted a very special concert Music for Mercy in Rome’s historic Roman Forum featuring Andrea Bocelli, Elaine Paige and David Foster amongst others. In 2023 Carly could be seen opening and closing Pope Francis’ concert for Humanitarian Efforts at St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican which was broadcast globally to more than 55 million people.
A performer at many major sporting fixtures, in 2023, Carly was invited to sing the Italian National Anthem at the opening ceremony of the very first Ryder Cup in Rome.
With five chart topping albums to her credit Carly has performed live and recorded with some of the world’s greatest artists including Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bolton, José Carreras, David Foster, and Elaine Paige and will soon be adding Alfie Boe to that list of names!
