What is a Countertenor, and what do they sing? Opera? Broadway? American Songbook? Pop? When the countertenor is David Sabella, the answer is “all of the above.”
David Sabella, internationally acclaimed singer, has sung on stages big and small throughout the United States, Europe and South America. A Broadway veteran (Chicago, the Musical) and classical countertenor deemed “Excellent, not good, excellent!” by Luciano Pavarotti, Sabella has crafted a show encompassing 400 years of music, in 4 octaves.
