Classical music singer Carly Paoli's dreams are coming true as she tours the UK as the special guest of Britain's Got Talent winners Collabro . The tour reaches Birmingham Symphony Hall on Thursday, November 2, 2017, then continues around the country, concluding with a show at Harrogate International Centre on December 2.

"I am excited to have the chance to make my UK tour debut with Collabro,'' says Mansfield-born Carly. ''Like me, they have a passion for singing; we've all achieved our goals on different paths, but we all share the love of performance. To be able to perform with four guys who love the world of musical theatre as I do is an absolute dream.''

Carly won scholarships to study at Tring Park and the Royal Northern College of Music and made her international debut in the David Foster Foundation Miracle Gala in 2014 where she shared the stage with artists including Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. Later that year she was the first artist to perform at the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) awards in Los Angeles.

In June 2015, she was invited to duet with operatic legend José Carreras at Windsor Castle and in 2016 performed at St James's Palace
as part of a fundraising event for The Prince's Trust.

During her debut tour, Carly is performing a selection of songs with Collabro, as well as tracks from her debut album, Singing My Dreams, which was released in June. Featuring a rare duet with José Carreras (En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor), the album mixes classic pieces with original compositions.

In Italy, Carly's achievements in art and culture were recently recognised when she was awarded with the prestigious Premio Barocco award (previous recipients include Dame Helen Mirren and Luciano Pavarotti).

In 2016, Ave Maria, a song from her album, was chosen as the official song of the Pope's Jubilee celebrations.
