Pre-match opera? Great idea. Said no one ever.

Brighton & Hove Albion fans are encouraged to arrive early at tomorrow’s game against Cardiff City, as renowned group Tenors Un Limited will be performing on the Amex Stadium pitch.

The trio have taken time out of their busy UK tour to sing, from approximately 7.15pm, favourites that will include Nessun Dorma, Men of Harlech – for our visitors from South Wales – and, as the teams emerge, Sussex by the Sea.

Tenor Scott Ciscon told seagulls.co.uk, “There will be something for both Albion and Cardiff fans, and we’re really looking forward to performing in front of such a big crowd.

He added, “We played before the 2011 FA Cup Final at Wembley, which was an amazing afternoon, but this will be another big sporting occasion that we’re really looking forward to.

“I’m looking forward to singing Sussex by the Sea and watching the game afterwards as, having moved to Hove recently, I’ve kept an eye on the club’s results.

“My son loves football and cricket, so I’m sure we’ll be taking in a few games at both the Amex and Hove from now on.”

Tenors Un Limited bring their 2014 UK tour ‘Show the Suit Who’s Boss!’ to the Theatre Royal, Brighton, on Thursday 9th October at 7.30pm.

I'll be having one less pint in order to get to my seat to watch. Enjoyed the opera singer previously and looking forward to the tenors.

So is it prawn sandwiches on the concourses, instead of pies

Men of Harlech – for our visitors from South Wales

Do they know where Harlech is?

Perhaps they plan to make a return visit for the Blackburn game and entertain them with Ilkley Moor baht at

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

"Men of Harlech" keeps Zulus at bay.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Personally I love it. All I need is either opera, progressive heavy rock or a little Mahler.

A White Rose county song for a Red Rose county football club could work!!!!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Fine by me. Other clubs have something going on, we have Reynolds staring into the camera giving you the time. Should be good stuff.

 

[dougdeep]

It was well received the last couple of times we had opera singers.

Cardiff fans may not know where it is, but they do know the words of the song, & sing it slowly, in tune, and better than we sing Sussex by the sea.

Pre-match opera? Great idea!

[nwgull]

I liked the opera bird last time, and it sounds like they're performing to promote their tour - ie for free - so why not.

Should help people learn the correct words and tempo of GOSBTS as well!

 

[The Large One]

Lovely idea.

I'm all for it.

Really enjoyed it last time, so I would say it was a good idea.

Looking forward to seeing them perform.

Doesnt bother me, was pretty good last time. Created a good atmosphere.

Some people just like to moan about anything.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Right, so the club hit on a winning formula with 'Sussex by the Sea', albeit accidentally, and they want to kill the atmosphere by having sodding tenors doing it. By all means, do anything else - who doesn't love a bit of Nessum Dorma, but leave GOSBTS alone, FFS.

Wasn't the opera singer one of the things Poyet spat his dummy over?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lovely idea.

I'm all for it.

I've negated your thumbs down with a thumbs up...i suspect you made an error there and haven't fully woken up lol

 

[Hillian1]

I do like to hear a bit of Opera at times, a Football match isn't one of those times to be honest.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Anything is better than the infantile ear bashing noise that is made pre match at the games I have been able to attend .
Do they call it fan zone or something....

Even a Welsh tenor would be better than that......
