Italian tenor Pasquale Esposito returns to Sacramento’s Crest Theater on Saturday, Oct. 27, with his new multimedia celebration of Italian culture in video and song.  In 2016, Esposito’s show celebrated Enrico Caruso. This time, perhaps surprisingly, it’s a celebration of Italian piazzas. Esposito has shown the vocal resources to take on the lyric roles that made Caruso famous. His tribute to his famous predecessor was featured on PBS in 2015. 

Earlier this year he released his album “Pasquale Esposito Celebrates Italian Piazzas,” and began his like-named tour. His Sacramento event will be bracketed by appearances in San Jose and Las Vegas. Esposito refers to his celebrations as “docu-concerts,” a combination of documentary and concert. He sees his mission as embracing both entertainment and cultural education.
