"Three Mo' Tenors" is scheduled for a PBS broadcast later this year. Dixon sailed the high C's in Donizetti's "Ah! Mes amis" and delivered a powerful message in "Make Them Hear You." Cook, a countertenor, was the most amazing of the three, balancing a chastely baroque-styled "O Cessate di Piagarmi" by Scarlatti with a zoot-suited "Minnie the Moocher" (including audience participation) that fully met the standard established by Cab Calloway. Young's "Nessun Dorma" was impressive, but his "Send In the Clowns" was equally classic.

After that, the theme was "Let the Good Times Roll," and the music was pop, blues, Broadway, spirituals and even a bit of patriotism in "America the Beautiful." They began with a classical group, dividing the work on "La Donna e Mobile" and each taking a solo in arias of Puccini, Donizetti and Alessandro Scarlatti. This means that an African American tenor has to be more versatile than his white counterparts, and Cook, Dixon and Young proved brilliantly that they are. He is too polite to explore the reason: African American tenors have trouble in opera because in most operas the tenor "gets the girl." Caffey, who conceived and directed the show, states it succinctly: "There has been a quiet absence of African-American tenors on the operatic and classical concert stage, which we are rectifying with this unique concert experience."

"Three Mo' Tenors" is still a new idea and the names of the singers - Victor Trent Cook, Rodrick Dixon and Thomas Young - are not well known. Name recognition is a partial explanation for this neglect. But there were many empty seats Tuesday evening. Lisner is a lot smaller than the sports arenas that have hosted the Carreras-Domingo-Pavarotti trio, ticket prices were a lot more affordable, and the Lisner's musical menu was more varied and, on the whole, more popular. "Three Mo' Tenors," which had two performances in Lisner Auditorium Tuesday and last night, relates to the "Three Tenors" superstar extravaganza roughly as "The Wind Done Gone" relates to "Gone With the Wind." It is partly a tribute, partly a parody, but above all it gives an African American perspective on a Eurocentric phenomenon.
