The Naked Tenor combines a beautiful tenor voice with the finest traditions of the burlesque to produce an unusual comic performance that strips opera to its bare essentials. Read below what people who have seen his O Sole Strippo Mio and Naughty Nessun Dorma have said about this unique performer.

“Pavabotti was the hit of the night… a truly fine tenor voice… the biggest laugh of the night… the audience would not let him leave without an encore.  He left the stage to thunderous applause – it was like seeing the great Maestro himself.”
Remotegoat review of London Burlesque Social Club by Philip Herbert, July 2008.

Pavabotti on Britain’s Got Talent

Posted in Pavabotti, Pavabotti - The Naked Tenor, The Naked Tenor, burlesque, burlesque opera, comedy, comic opera, naked opera with tags , , , , , , on April 9, 2009 by pavabotti

I ‘ave a sad annoucementa to makea.

Britain, you ainta gonna getta the chance to votea fora me on the Britain’s Got Talentio, coz the judges they gotta sucha buzz froma mya act they buzzeda me off so I no getta to the votin’ stage. But the good noos is you gotta to see mea on the telly, innit!

Asa you can see from the Youtube, the ladeez in the audencio lova me and Amanda wazza so overcome witha the emotzione thata she hada to cover her face. Even Simon, ‘e gave me the cheeky smile!

Thoeza nice peoples at Thames Talkback TV, they phone me up and invite mea to perform in their show Britain’s Gotta the Talentio, Ain’t It. I think they invite me ona becoz they want to ‘ave fun by takin’ the mickey out of the grand opera, but I ‘ave the lasta larf, innit. Those judges – they izza a strangea lot.

Amanda Redfern, I remember her from the Generation Game with Brucie Forsyth but she donna seem to  ‘ave aged much. Per’aps she ‘ave the facelifta? (She definitely ‘as ‘ad the boob job anda a nice joba eet ez too).

As for Piers Morgan – whata shamea thata the seriouzio tabloidio journalisto ‘as been reduced to bein’ a talentio show judge. We alla  ‘ave to accepta what we canna whena the besta years of our careera are ova…  ‘E only buzzed whena I revealeda mya reda g-string, which I bought froma  Y-Front, the toppa shoppa for the babe magnetos likea me – he obviously coulda notta stand the competizione ina the trouser departmentio.

Anda Simon, ‘e said a “small no” to me – wella simon we alla know you izza small in alla departmentio… excepta your wallet, innit.

And I ‘az beena spotted bya the culture vulturios ina the posh paper The Grauniad. See:

To kick offa the noo yeara with a wam bang, Pavabotti, performed twice at the Wig Wama Obama (no Baracking allowed) club and ‘ere’s what one reviewer said:

“The most psychotropic, surreal and enjoyable night of the season. Pavabotti, as the name would suggest, is a fantastic act for those of us who have always held the belief that opera and unconventional striptease is an underappreciated combination. The larger-than-life performer is the darling of the ladies in the audience, who perhaps can’t decide whether they should applaud or polish off their vodka martinis for visual courage before things escalate.”  -  Alice Anokhina, Culture Vulture, www.thelondonword.com/2009/02/wam-bam-thank-you-mam/

Recommended by Time Out:

Wam Bam Weekend at Soho Revue Bar, 11 Walkers Court, W1F 0ED, Friday and Saturday, January 23 and 24, doors open 7pm.

“A weekender for this monthly music, comedy and burlesque night with shows tonight and tomorrow night. You can be tempted by those vixens from Frivolitease, see cheeky Pavabotti, Scales of the Unexpected and the legendary stand-up and improv king Ryan Styles.”
