Best-known for the lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award-winning musical The Phantom of the Opera, Franc D’Ambrosio played the famed masked man more than 2,100 times, holding the title of “The World’s Longest-Running Phantom” for more than a decade.
As the opera-singing Anthony Corleone, son of Al Pacino and Diane Keaton’s characters in the seven- time Academy Award-nominated film Godfather III, Franc performed the theme song “Speak Softly Love” for both the film and Original Motion Picture soundtrack. A revised version of the movie debuted in theaters in December 2021 with a new title: Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone.
D’Ambrosio lived and studied with famed tenor Luciano Pavarotti in the summer of 1991, later founding the Lorenzo Malfatti Vocal Academy in Lucca, Italy, for students of opera and musical theatre. He has recorded three CDs based on his critically acclaimed one-man shows celebrating the best of Broadway’s most iconic musicals, and tours internationally performing concerts and conducting his iconic Master Classes. D’Ambrosio is also a frequent guest artist with major orchestras and symphonies worldwide.
“I have seen a lot of concerts in my time and I have to say, Franc D’Ambrosio’s BROADWAY is one of the best I have ever seen.”
