Classically trained singer brings ‘Christmasland’ to the casino
Jonathan Antoine will perform songs of the season in “Christmasland Live” at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18, at Soaring Eagle Casino, 6800 Soaring Eagle Blvd., Mt. Pleasant.
The British classical tenor released his new holiday collection, “Christmasland Platinum Edition,” in November, including new recordings of “The First Noel,” “Caro Gesu Bambino,” “The Little Drummer Boy / Peace On Earth,” “The Prayer” and “Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle.” The chart topper became a global sensation at age 17 on the “Britain’s Got Talent” contest show. He will perform traditional carols arranged by seven-time Grammy nominee Chris Walden to showcase Antoine’s formidable voice, as well as more recent holiday hits.
“For almost the last two years I have taken every opportunity to avoid human contact in the midst of a global pandemic but each of you have occupied every free moment in my thoughts, and there have been quite some free moments,” Antoine said in a statement to his fans. “I am more excited to see you and perform for you than I could possibly explain to you in the simple communication method of mere words — I hope to let the music do the talking. I’ll see you there, be safe until then.”
