Bravo! SPECIALS
ANDIAMO – New Special
Monday, August 3 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT
ANDIAMO straddles the worlds of classic Italian song and opera. A one-hour vibrant production that celebrates romantic Italian musicals, ANDIAMO features Claudio Catalano, Paolo Fanale and Giovanni Cavarrette as the principle singers who form ANDIAMO. Brought together under the experienced helm of Daniel Hart and Emmy Award®-winning music producer Michael Whalen, the trio serenade viewers with songs from beloved movies shot in Italy, such as Roman Holiday and Three Coins in Fountain, as well as classic hits such as “O Sole Mio,” “Mona Lisa” and “Arrivederci Roma.”
*CANTATA FOR THE KING
Monday, August 10 at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
Cantata for the King is a weird and wonderfully entertaining performance special- a post modern musical celebrating the music and genius of the King of Rock and Roll. It is a film of homage, wit, irreverent fun, and sheer sonic power. The core strength of Cantata for the King is the avant garde musical invention of John Korsrud's Hard Rubber Orchestra and the performance talents of a stellar roster of special guest soloists.
*A TRIBUTE TO THE KING: By Scotty Moore & Friends
Tuesday, August 11 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT
Few artists can claim to have been as close a witness to the birth of rock and roll as guitarist Scotty Moore. In this special tribute concert, Moore is joined by a series of special guests including Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Martin Taylor, Mike Sanchez, and Paul Ansell, performing 28 of The King's best-loved hits including "Jailhouse Rock", "Blue Moon", "All Shook Up", and "Blue Suede Shoes."
RITA MCNEIL PRESENTS MEN OF THE DEEPS – New Special
