THE UK's best-selling classical crossover artist of all time is heading to Weymouth this week.

Russell Watson will perform his new Canzoni d’Amore show at Weymouth Pavilion on Friday, September 28 at 7.30pm.

Described by BBC Radio 2's Ken Bruce as 'a national treasure', Russell is the UK’s best-selling classical crossover artist of all time.

Russell's career to date has seen some incredible achievements; his debut album The Voice held simultaneous number one slots in the US and UK (a world first), spending a record breaking 52 weeks at number 1 in the UK.

Russell has sold in excess of seven million albums and won four Classical BRITS. He was the first artist to perform at the Kodak Theatre, the home of the Oscars in Los Angeles, and was the only British artist to be invited to perform at the Independence Day celebrations at the White House in July 2012. In 2002

Captivating to watch and enchanting to listen to, Russell continues to wow audiences with his enigmatic and entertaining live performances.
