An operatic performance by the R3 Tenors is taking place at Hartlepool’s Town Hall Theatre on Saturday, October 19. The trio was formed 14 years ago by Hartlepool-born Robert Crowe plus Bruce Davis and Declan McCusker, who all belonged to the full international company of Scottish Opera and who came together after singing in concert with Pavarotti and Carreras. They have been invited to sing at the Ryder Cup golf competition in Scotland next year. The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost £12.50, or £11 for concessions.
