Tenor Amine J. Hachem Comes to 54 Below This May

54 Below, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents tenor Amine J. Hachem in “From the Mediterranean to the Americas” on May 13, 2015. Amine J. Hachem pushes the boundaries of opera music by integrating it with unconventional global sounds from around the world. His performance will take you on a journey from the shores of the Mediterranean to the southern tip of the Americas. Audiences can expect everything from operatic arias and Broadway hits, to Rock and Roll, Jazz standards, Russian folk songs and Latin classics, all in new and fresh interpretations that have never been heard before.

Joining Amine will be conductor and pianist Brian Holman, a “superb partner artist” (Hudson-Catskill) hailed for his “magic baton” (Brooklyn Eagle), leading a dynamic five-piece band. Equally at home in popular music, Brian has appeared with operatic greats in the United States, Italy and South Africa, and has enjoyed a lengthy collaboration with Amine worldwide.

Dubbed as “a soulful and handsome young man who delivers an electrifying and thrilling performance, bringing the crowd to their feet” (An-Nahar), Amine J. Hachem is an operatic tenor and a classical crossover artist who has thrilled audiences across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. A leading tenor in several operas and musicals, including La Traviata, Tosca, La Boheme, Carmen, Phantom of the Opera, Evita and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Amine was a guest of the National Lebanese Orchestra. He has also lent his voice to various charitable causes worldwide, including SOS Children’s Villages, Caritas Internationalis, Red Cross, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Rotary International, and Lion’s Club.

Whether appearing on international television programs or performing for heads of state, Amine pushes the boundaries of operatic music by integrating it with unconventional sounds from around the world. His performances take audiences on a journey from the shores of the Mediterranean and the steppes of Russia, across the pond to the jungles of Latin America and the streets of New York, with highlights of rock and roll, Broadway, and the American Songbook. While often compared to old guard titans like Tom Jones and Mario Lanza, Amine’s fresh interpretations of old classics are sure to captivate a new generation of audiences.
