Italian tenor for events in Europe: weddings, gala dinners and concerts

A wedding in a villa in Provence, a gala dinner in London, a corporate event in Munich, an anniversary in a chalet in Switzerland: everywhere in Europe, when you want a moment that stays in the memory, you think of the voice of an Italian tenor. Opera was born in Italy, and the voice of the Italian tenor is recognised by everyone, whatever language they speak.

Corrado Ilarion Tuccitto, known as Ilarion, a Sicilian tenor and composer, also travels abroad to sing live at weddings, gala dinners, concerts and luxury events.

Who is Ilarion

Ilarion is a lyric tenor and composer from eastern Sicily, trained at the Conservatory of Caltanissetta. He has sung in cathedrals, theatres, on cruise ships and at international signature events, and he works with wedding planners and event managers for luxury weddings and gala dinners. Those who have heard him live, singing teachers included, call him "the Bocelli of the South".

A voice for an international audience

Ilarion sings in Italian, English, Spanish and Greek. For an event with guests from different countries, this means alternating the charm of Italian with songs everyone understands, and speaking to guests in their own language.

For which events

• Weddings abroad and destination weddings: the ceremony, with the Ave Maria and the music of the rite, and the reception.
• Gala dinners in hotels, palaces, castles and private residences.
• Corporate events and incentives: an Italian evening with the voice of a tenor.
• Concerts of opera arias, Italian song and Neapolitan classics, serenades and Sicilian music, of about 45 minutes.
• Religious celebrations, with sacred music sung live.
• Anniversaries and family celebrations, also with a surprise choir.

Line-ups

Voice and piano, with Ilarion accompanying himself, or with strings, organ, violin, cello or a soprano, depending on the event and the venue.

Repertoire

• Opera arias by Verdi, Puccini and Donizetti, in the tradition of the Italian bel canto school.
• Italian and Neapolitan song: from 'O sole mio to the serenades, the songs that tell Italy's story abroad.
• Sacred music: Ave Maria by Schubert, Gounod and Caccini, Panis Angelicus, Ave Verum.
• Original compositions: songs, waltzes and pieces in different genres such as Come amare quando (How to love when), Danza per la vita, Valzer dell'amore, Per sempre and Night and Day, all available to listen to on the home page.

Music written for you, from any country

Ilarion is also a composer: he can write a custom wedding song or a piece for a company, an institution or an event, with lyrics in Italian or English. Meetings can also take place remotely: original music on commission.

How it is organised

1. First contact: date, venue, type of event, number of guests and the moments when you want music.
2. The programme: repertoire, line-up and languages, built around the event.
3. Coordination with the wedding planner, the event manager or the venue management.

For an event abroad it is best to get in touch well in advance, so that dates and travel can be arranged together. Every proposal is tailor-made.

And if the event is in Italy

If you are planning your wedding or event in Italy, Ilarion sings in Sicily, Calabria, on the Amalfi Coast, on Lake Como, in Tuscany and in Venice: there is a page for couples getting married in Italy from abroad and one for wedding planners and event managers. To discover the great tenors of the past, there are pages on Italian tenors and European tenors.
