Katherine Jenkins announces major 2010 UK arena tour

Singer Katherine Jenkins at Echo Arena, Liverpool, on March 18

BRITAIN'S favourite singer and the world’s most successful classical crossover artist, the Welsh Mezzo Soprano Katherine Jenkins, today announces a major 11-date UK arena starting in March 2010 and she’s coming to the Echo Arena, Liverpool, on March 18, 2010. An internationally recognised figure, Katherine has spent the last few months in Los Angeles working on her first album with new label, Warner Bros Records, which will be released this autumn.

Her new record sees Katherine take a new and bold direction, working with super producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Michael Bublé, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand), bringing together the unique talents of two extraordinary artists.

During the past six years Katherine has defined the ever popular ‘crossover’ genre. Whether it be taking to the stage with Darcey Bussell, performing Edith Piaf’s La Vie En Rose in acclaimed production Viva La Diva, to giving Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah a classical twist, Jenkins is one of most forward-thinking, creative and progressive artists of her generation, bringing her timeless aura to millions of fans across the world. With Marilyn Monroe-style glamour, she has the business savvy of an opera Madonna and the humility and compassion that have made her everyone’s favourite girl-next-door.

For this tour, Katherine will be joined by special guests Escala.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, July 3, at 9.30am. Log on to www.echoarena.com
