Reza e iRagazzi

A constellation of Norway’s finest opera stars with artist extraordinare Reza Aghamir at the helm. Reza and the guys take on the classics in their own way. Preforming with a passion truly remarkable, singing Grieg and romantic classics, as well as showing off the familiar realm of their own favourite opera goodies.

Leaving Khomeini’s Iran behind, Reza Aghamir first came to Norway with his family at 15 yrs of age. A rebel in the classical world, embracing hip-hop music and culture. Reza’sways about music has always been personal and uncompromising regardless of genre and setting. However, putting this band together stands tall as a great artistic achievement in itself. 15 top dogs, singing together, performing the music they love. The "Rat Pack" of classical song. Who could possibly refuse such an offer…

The critically acclaimed debut album "Grieg Unheard» gives the listener 13 Grieg songs, to the bone. A clean and specific approach, recorded at the Norwegian Opera and Grieg’s own living-room at Troldhaugen. The different and unique qualities of each individual singer is at the centre of attention. "A beautiful contradiction of terms, really, forming a choir of soloists, certainly when it comes to opera soloists. But then Reza e iRagazzi is not a choir – more an opera band!" says Erik Gard Amundsen, director of Simax Classics.

Reza e iRagazzi are currently touring venues in Norway, singing their hearts out to
enthusiastic crowds across the country. Presenting their stylish an fresh approach, broad appeal and tapping into the big emotions."We believe quality can go a long way" – Reza is back with an ambition, wanting to bring this to international venues. Only, when performing at Vahdat Hall i Teheran as well as The Hollywood Bowl in LA, this journey ends.
