Tony and Donna Buonauro were born to entertain.
Donna learned about life behind a microphone
while singing with her father's band. She fell
in love with the old standards through her role
models Shirley Bassey and Barbara Streisand.
Tony's parents, first generation Italian Americans,
filled his soul with a passion for opera and
Neapolitan music.
Gifted with a natural voice,
Donna soon found herself traveling the nightclub
circuit across the country from New York's Ballroom
cabaret to Los Angeles' Gardenia Room.
Tony,
a winner of many scholarships and awards, including
The New York Grand Opera competition and a Metropolitan Opera's young artist competition, moved quickly
from Broadway to major opera houses around the
world. Recently, he appeared in Paris in a Bellini
opera.
When they met they had a mutual admiration
for each other's talent, but never really considered
singing together. After years of performing
separately, they focused their energy on creating
their act. They have combined their musical
styles to create a thrilling musical experience.
Their music covers classical to pop in such
a way that it reaches everyone. Broadway, Opera,
Pop and standards, there's not much this dynamic
duo does not cover.
Donna and Tony's act has
taken them around the world from New York to
Tokyo and Europe to Australia, from Carnegie
Hall, Broadway, Lincoln Center and almost every
major show room in the country.
You must see
them soon and share in the magic of their gift.
