On May 17 at 8:30 PM, Franc D’Ambrosio arrives at the Teatro Niccolini in Florence with a show that blends music and storytelling into a single, compelling theatrical experience.

Internationally celebrated as one of the world’s longest-running Phantoms, Franc performed the title role in The Phantom of the Opera more than 2,100 times, earning him the title The Iron Man of the Mask. He also starred as Anthony Corleone, the opera-singing son of Al Pacino and Diane Keaton’s characters in The Godfather, Part III, performing the Academy Award-winning theme song in both the film and on the motion picture soundtrack.  Franc studied in Italy under Luciano Pavarotti and holds the title Cavaliere, O.S.I., after being knighted by the President of the Republic of Italy in 2020.  A celebrated international crossover artist who has shared the stage with Andrea Bocelli, Franc brings a rare blend of operatic power and Broadway storytelling to audiences worldwide.

Accompanied at the piano, Franc alternates songs with storytelling, creating an experience that moves between autobiographical narrative, beloved American standards, and an iconic Broadway repertoire, sharing a direct and powerful connection with the audience.

Please join Franc on a journey between Broadway and Hollywood that retraces an extraordinary international career and celebrates the enduring imagination of musical theatre and film
