Franc D'Ambrosio

On Sunday, April 27 at 7 p.m., the Pike Performing Arts Center is presenting singer Franc D'Ambrosio, known as "The World's Longest-running Phantom." Franc has the distinction of having performed the title role in "Phantom of the Opera" more than 3,000 times! For the past several years, Franc has toured the country with solo shows featuring Broadway hits and songs from Hollywood.

For film buffs, Franc also appeared in "Godfather III" as Al Pacino's opera-singing son, Anthony Corleone. He is operatically-trained and had the pleasure and privilege to study with Luciano Pavarotti.

Franc's performance at Pike will be a collection of Broadway standards, from "Almost Like Being in Love" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," to George M. Cohan ("Give My Regards to Broadway") and Bob Fosse ("Razzle Dazzle") medleys, to (naturally) the majestic "Phantom of the Opera" finale.

Tickets are $18 & $20, with discounts for Seniors (60+) and Students. Call the Box Office at (317) 216-5455 or buy online at http://www.PikePAC.org.
