Where two musical worlds meet
Total Tenor is an opera and DJ crossover project, born out of the musical friendship of its two founders, opera singer Tarján Pál and music producer Lepés Gábor.
The formation moves between classical genres and electronic music. The programme features opera arias, operetta and musical numbers and Italian and Latin songs in new arrangements, on the same stage as contemporary club music. The project regularly collaborates with invited guest artists.
