For 25 years now, the five tenors have been captivating thousands of guests with a devoted passion for classical music during their annual classical concert series.

The Plovdiv Symphonic Orchestra, conducted by Nayden Todorov, accompanies them on their tour. And the conductor is another star of this ensemble. He is considered the best conductor in Eastern Europe, has performed at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and the Klagenfurt Summer Festival, toured Japan with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, collaborated with opera stars like Placido Domingo, Raina Kabaivanska, Angela Gheorghiu, Sonya Yoncheva, Juan Diego Florez, Paul Badura-Skoda, or Sarah Chang, and even served as Minister of Culture in Bulgaria. The Plovdiv Symphonic Orchestra, founded in 1997, has already completed over 1,000 live performances in Europe alone, and over the years, they have collaborated with renowned artists such as Roger Hodgson (formerly of Supertramp) or Anastacia.
With their new program "Melody per milioni," "The Night of the 5 Tenors" promises an entire evening full of musical highlights. The repertoire includes arias from well-known operas such as "Aida," "Nabucco," "Tosca," "Carmen," and "La Traviata," as well as "Der Zigeunerbaron."

Marc Marshall was born in 1963 in Baden-Baden as the son of entertainer Tony Marshall. At the age of six, Marc traveled to Chicago with his father, then still unknown, for six weeks and performed with him every evening as part of his US club tour. After graduating from high school in 1982, Marc Marshall studied jazz in Los Angeles and deepened his second passion, classical music. He completed his studies as a baritone at the State University of Music in Karlsruhe. There, the father of two met Jay Alexander in 1993 during an operetta production. Since 1998, their successful singing career as the classical-pop duo Marshall & Alexander has taken the two exceptional artists to the most beautiful stages and top chart positions. During the tour, Marc Marshall will perform solo, in a duet with Andrea Hörkens, and together with all the tenors.
