Russell Watson Live in Stroud

Russell Watson, the English crossover tenor known for blending operatic arias with pop covers, brings his live performance to Stroud. His setlist draws from a career that includes the debut album *The Voice* (2001) and collaborations with Aled Jones. Watson's early breakthrough came from singing at Wembley Stadium and the UEFA Champions League Final in 1999, and his repertoire often includes the *Star Trek: Enterprise* theme "Where My Heart Will Take Me."

Watson's career was interrupted by the removal of a benign pituitary tumour in 2006 and subsequent brain surgery in 2007, after which he released the album *La Voce* in 2010. His performances reflect this resilience, offering a mix of classical and popular songs that have defined his career.
