Three Vocal Stars Who Masterfully Navigate the
Worlds of Broadway, Jazz, Pop and Opera

The Three Tenors are back. Well, with a new twist, anyway. While their names — Bermudez, Bumpas and McGuire — may be unfamiliar outside the opera worlds, they represent a new golden age in virtuoso male voices beyond the opera halls venturing into all areas of music including Broadway, jazz, pop and some ewly arranged classical music.

These three classically trained singers put on a vocal concert unlike anything most audiences have ever witnessed. Combining uncanny vocal prowess with cleaver new arrangements of familiar tunes, the men of Allegro come to entertain. Big time. Be prepared for a high energy, electric performance that is as much fun as it is entertaining. All told, an evening with Allegro will be a night audiences won't soon forget.

The other twist these three bring to the stage is an incredible vocal versatility and blending prowess — not of three power tenors but of a lyric baritone, (Bermudez), a tenor (Bumpas) and a bass (McGuire). While the novelty of three tenors has passed, the intracate stylings of their vocal ranges offer a rare complexity and fresh harmony to every tune.

The show is unlike any typical concert — it's serious vocals and even a few laughs — because they only thing these boys love to do more than sing is to have a good time! The full throated singing features a variety of musical genres including Broadway, jazz, pop and opera. Allegro features Bernardo Bermudez, Alex Bumpas, and Dinny McGuire with musical arrangements by an award-winning composer.
