Britain's Russell Watson, the "people's tenor," is coming back to Japan. Renowned for his golden voice, he will be accompanied by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and up-and-coming violinist Emiri Miyamoto.
Watson will perform selections from his latest album, "Outside In," released in Japan on Wednesday. The set list will include an updated version of "Nessun Dorma," which is dedicated to the late Luciano Pavarotti.
A rendition of a piece from the opera "Turandot" gave Watson his big break back in 1999. He was invited to sing a song at Old Trafford soccer stadium in Manchester, England, the home of soccer team Manchester United. His performance before the game, which saw the team clinch the Premiership, was received with a standing ovation.
