As seen on TV with over 200,000 CD’s sold through national infomercials and exclusive meet-and-greets, internationally acclaimed tenor Franco Corso presents his sensational new show, “Passione Italiana” (The Italian Passion), live on world stages.
Embark on a musical journey through Italy, from Bocelli to Pavarotti, as Franco brings to life the most iconic Pop-Opera classics.
Blending the timeless elegance of Andrea Bocelli with the romantic flair of Julio Iglesias, Franco captivates audiences with a powerful repertoire that bridges classical crossover with beloved Italian-American standards.
More than just concerts, his performances are emotional experiences—touching hearts and stirring souls across generations. From sold-out shows throughout the U.S. and Europe to appearances for high-profile audiences, Franco continues to earn international acclaim for his vocal mastery and magnetic stage presence.
Corso reinvents the music of Italian & American crooners, transforming past masterpieces into modern treasures in four languages (English, Italian, Spanish and French).
One of Franco’s many career highlights was his sold-out concert at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston, which preceded a successful TV campaign aired on NBC and CBS. In this campaign, Franco was accompanied by multi-Emmy Award-winning music composer and Tony Bennett’s longtime musical director, Mike Renzi. Franco’s powerful rendition of Bocelli’s Time to Say Goodbye was featured on ABC during the 73rd Annual Columbus Day Red Carpet event, presented by Joe Piscopo and Maria Bartiromo.
Franco has performed at numerous prestigious venues, including the Berklee Performance Center in Boston, The Royal Room at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, The Maltz Jupiter Theatre, The Eissey Theatre, The Lyric Theatre, The Sunrise Theatre, the historic Riviera Theatre in the New York area, and many more.
Corso’s stunning performances have been featured at numerous high-profile charity events, including the Eric Trump Foundation Inaugural Gala benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the American Heart Association Ball, the Cleveland Clinic Mar-a-Lago Gala,, Friends of the Uffizi Gallery, the American Humane Association’s Hero Dog Awards at the Beverly Hilton in partnership with Lois Pope’s LIFE Foundation, PBS WXEL’s Women with Wings and Wisdom Awards, and many other philanthropic organizations.
Each year, Franco returns to Italy for an exclusive concert tour, where his American fan base is invited to join him on a musical journey. Past tour destinations have included the Amalfi Coast—featuring a moving rendition of Ave Maria in the Cathedral of Sorrento, Florence, Tuscany, Portofino, Sanremo, and the lakes of Maggiore and Como.
Franco’s musical journey continues with the release of five original songs, including the ethereal hit ‘Angel’ and the passionate ‘Marisela’. These songs form a heartfelt tribute—a love letter to those who have inspired and supported his path from the very beginning. They stand as a testament to his passion, perseverance, and the fulfillment of a dream first born in a small Italian church choir, where a gifted six-year-old boy first discovered his voice.
