Long before Susan Boyle wowed the Britain's Got Talent crowd with her rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables, a jowly mobile phone salesman from South Wales surprised a nation with his amazing operatic voice. Singing Nessun dorma from Puccini's Turandot, Paul Potts left the judges in tears and stormed to victory. It was a platform that launched Potts' second career as an internationally renowned opera singer with earnings of more than ?5m to date. Forget he had actually already appeared in six amateur productions and a concert for the Royal Philharmonic, plus had attended a Pavarotti masterclass - it was proof that nice guys don't always finish last, and an inspiration for millions around the world. Don't miss your chance to see the humble Potts in action at the Royal Albert Hall, with support from the marvellous young New Zealand soprano Elizabeth Marvelly. Just watch out for Simon, Piers and Amanda in the front row...About Royal Albert Hall
Classical music, rock, pop and jazz, sporting events, galas, banquets and balls and the world-famous Proms series all take place within the Royal Albert Hall's iconic oval walls. One of London's most versatile venues, it is a favourite of performers from Jose Carreras to Kylie Minogue. More about Royal Albert Hall
