The great American tenor Mario Lanza never toured to Aotearoa NZ, but in this one night only concert fantasy he does. 

Flying home to be with his Valentine, Lanza’s plane is forced to divert to Aotearoa due to engine trouble and inclement weather. Landing in Rotorua a despondent Mario meets Aotearoa’s first recording star, local legend Ana Hato. Together they embark on unique and magical musical collaboration - as long as the plane remains grounded.

No one did romance like Lanza and in this Valentine’s Day fantasy prepare to swoon to favourites like ‘Be my Love’ and ‘Because you’re mine’  and Hato hits like  ‘Akoako i te Rangi’  ‘Waiata Poi’ and more…

Starring International Samoan Tenor Sani Muliaumaseali’i and special guest superstar Maisey Rika.
