TOP TENORS
Chinese-born Hao Zhou was Melbourne's original "Kitchen Caruso". The Victorian Arts Centre dishwasher was discovered overnight when he spontaneously broke into opera. Within a month he was invited to sing at the Australian Vocal Symposium under the tutelage of Dame Joan Sutherland. Hao created the Three Chinese Tenors to perform in Australia's bid to win the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Now internationally-acclaimed, the Three Chinese Tenors have inspired audiences across Australia and South East Asia.
