The Three Waiters      

Popular Opera Singing Waiters Act for Corporate Events

The Three Waiters was established in Australia in 1999 by Mark Bradley and Darryl Lovegrove, and after performing over 4,000 shows in 55 counties, it remains one of the most sought after acts on the national and international corporate entertainment circuit.

The concept of The Three Waiters involves three talented and highly entertaining opera singers dressing and hoaxing as real waiters before grouping together to take the audience through a very amusing, yet sophisticated show. The Three Waiters brings an unbeatable combination of surprise, humor, and amazing voices to any gathering.

As an important part of the act, each performer actually works the floor as a waiter for some time before the performance begins. They also dress and act the same as the real waiters, thus giving no clues of what is about to come. They cover as much of the floor as possible while interacting with the guests, and as a result the guests feel like they are part of the act as opposed to watching a staged show. Picture your next corporate function where the evening is running according to plan with the usual mixing and mingling of invited guests and clients. Suddenly, one of the food or beverage waiters burst into an aria from well known opera songs, from Pavarotti to Dean Martin or Andrew Lloyd Webber to Puccini, culminating in a performance of true Three Tenors style.

IMPORTANT

  • Much of the show is performed amongst the audience and for safety reasons, all service must cease during the show. The venue staff must be informed of this.

  • The duration of the performance is approx. 25 minutes.

The Show Commences

Once Entre has been laid and drinks have been topped off, Jean-Marc, a French waiter, makes his way to the stage and politely announces that another guest has offered him $ 100. He proceeds to sing a full aria.in Italian. Alfredo is Italian. Alfredo is not very happy. The plot thickens as Alfredo and Jean-Marc challenge each others vocals abilities. Just as they agree to sing something together, a third waiter bursts into the scene. He is American. The show evolves into a dynamic vocal trio and only at the finale are their true identities revealed.

PERFORMANCE

There are two short announcements (40 seconds duration) made by Alfredo to establish his character leading up to the commencement of the actual show.

Announcement # 1: During the appetizer (or thereabouts)

Announcement # 2:

Before the Entre is laid It is at this time Alfredo sings a huge operatic note prompting thunderous applause. He bows and announces that a guest offered him $ 50 to do so. He thanks the guest and leaves the stage.
