Opera tenor Alberto Profeta, known as the “Pavarotti of Sicily," will project his voice at the new Arlington High School auditorium at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29. Sabato “Tino” D'Agostino, AHS director of band and orchestra, told YourArlington: “I was able to catch Maestro Profeta for this concert because I have known him for a while and I have also played with him (we just played in Chicago with him). He is an amazing singer.”

The event is free, but donations are accepted. Presenting “famous Italian arias and songs,” Profeta will be supported by Maxim Lubarsky on piano; Salvatore DiFusco, guitar; Sergio Bellotti, drums; Guitano Zagami, percussion; and D'Agostino, bass. Profeta is appearing here before continuing his U.S. tour at Allen House in Newton on Sept. 30. During that appearance, he will headline, with backing by D'Agostino on bass, among others.
