Adelaide Advertiser - Opera band's change of note

Reveiw extract

Pop went the opera as UK group Amici forever breathed new life into timeless classics at its Adelaide concert last night. Their songs were a hit with the sellout audience at Her Majesty's Theatre despite the absence of one of its singers. They sent their 'love across the water' to missing bass baritone Nick Garrett, whose Mother died suddenly and tragically only last week.

Beneath a cascade of rock star style lights and with choreoglraphy that would do today's boy bands proud Amici forever promised an eclectic mix of music - and delivered it.

Amici forever proved it had hit the right "classics lite" mix to please the Sarah Brightman/Andrea Bocelli set.
