Three Mexican Tenors bring symphony show to Tucson

Tucson Symphony Orchestra is back at Linda Ronstadt Music Hall this weekend with the Three Mexican Tenors as part of the trio’s symphony tour.

The ensemble — Jorge Lopez-Yañez, Bernardo Bermudez and José Luis Ordóñez — is bringing its “An Enchanted Evening with Three Mexican Tenors” program that borrows from opera, Broadway and Mexican classical music.

The program opens with Rossini’s Overture from “The Barber of Seville” and closes with Jacques Revaux’s “My Way,” made famous by Frank Sinatra.

In between, the trio will perform cornerstones of the operatic, classical and Broadway stages, works made famous by everyone from Pavarotti (Leoncavallo’s “Mattinata” and Eduardo di Capua’s “’O sole mio”) to Josh Groban (Rolf Løvland’s “You Raise Me Up”).
