Luca Turrili Taps Riccardo Cecchi For European Tour

Riccardo Cecchi, tenor of the Lyrical Choir Giuseppe Verdi Di Roma (also featured in the Woody Allen movie "To Rome With Love"), will join Rhapsody on European dates of the upcoming Prometheus Cinematic 2016 tour.

Riccardo Cecchi is the new special guest to be announced following lead soprano Emilie Ragni, who sang on several tracks from latest album "Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus."

“His voice is magnificent,” states lead singer Alessandro Conti, and adds: “No compromise. We want to offer some memorable shows and Riccardo will greatly contribute to the cinematic impact of our tour with all his talent!”

“In the cinematic music of Rhapsody the choral aspect and its emotional impact is really fundamental,” affirms drummer Alex Landenburg, and adds: ”We’ll be finally able to offer in our shows a unique live experience, having two great artists sharing the stage with Alessandro and singing the main voices of our greatest choral parts.”

Composer Luca Turilli says: “My ultimate artistic dream is turning into a great reality. Imagine how an old Rhapsody classic such as 'Unholy Warcry' or the newest songs such as 'Of Michael The Archangel And Lucifer’s Fall',,'Prometheus' and 'King Solomon And The 72 Names Of God' could sound when sung by real opera singers on stage. I have goosebumps just thinking about it!”
