New release: “Be My Love” from “ America’s Tenor,” Charles Pitt, out sold ”those other tenors” this week adding impetus to Pitt’s Euro tour. Americans and Euros chose Pitt’s romantic-macho vocals {he plays polo and sings “popera”}, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
For Immediate Release:Charles Pitt, Los Angeles, comes with a lavish kind of reference: pop-goddess Madonna calls him the sexiest tenor alive. He plays polo matches, water-skis, has a secondary career as an actor and is revolutionizing the opera scene in America by coining the term 'popera': MTV style opera videos, shown on MTV, which bring young people to the point of becoming enthusiastic about classical music.
This can't be a bad thing. It works, the voice being rather good for a popular tenor, with a sweet touch to it. His début CD, Be My Love, is already selling quite well. Pitt is at his best with such pieces as track 3, Granada, and, of course, with musicals. On his début CD another track that needs to be heard to appreciate what he has on offer vocally is of a more popular variety, Amici, which he does extraordinarily well, with distinct baritonal touch to his voice, and which shows why the American audiences are increasingly falling under the spell of the sportive tenor.
Pitt is mixing pop and opera, as his trade name suggests, and so it is difficult to place him in one or the other. But perhaps one does not need to, as he seems to have invented his own category and is doing just fine with that. He gets good reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. 'His singing is not only beautiful but healing', USA Today writes of him, and The Times (London) says: 'His voice falls on the ear like the warm touch of a lover's hand'.
For Immediate Release
Known For Singing, Floridian Pitt At Home on Polo Field
Florida Horsemen Magazine - March/April 2004
By: Cynthia Morrison - Palm Beach Jousting
Noted as "America's Tenor", Charles
Pitt attributes his success to his
great passion not only for his singing but for his chosen equestrian sport of
Polo as well. This celebrity Polo player happens to
be a native south Floridian
spending his childhood years in Ft. Pierce and he continues a part time
residence in Martin County. In his childhood years there, the family owned
furniture store welcomed friends to visit and share songs at the piano. It was
at that
time when Charles became set on his singing career.
It didn't take long for Hollywood to
discover this handsome aspiring and
talented singer/actor. Charles soon made his way to Los Angeles where he was
co-star in the movie "Monaco forever" along with Jean
Claude Van Damme. This
film required Charles to take riding lessons from one of Hollywood's finest
horseman in the Biz, Colin Danngard from Australia. After
realizing his love for
the horse and his exceptional riding ability, Charles then became an avid
Polo player in 1996. His acting brought him to star
in such films as "Be
My
Love", "Les Femmes d'Argent", "Moving Target", "White Stallion", "The Pilot",
"Skatetown USA", "Hollywood Man" and more.
Pitt, who was recently in concert at the Kravis center
in West Palm Beach,
Charles Pitt is one man who is not afraid to sing from the
heart! Although in
his pre-show radio interview he best describes his singing style in comparison
to his horsemanship in that his singing is an extension
of his breathing and
diaphragm with a light throat as his riding style tends to be more leg usage
with light hands for the reins and seeing the horse as an
extension of himself.
"His voice seems to float above the music with angelic lightness supported with
an intensity of deep passion". Is how Irene Chapman of USA Today described his
vocal style "His singing is not only beautiful but
healing."
Polo certainly has its fair share of "Celebs" taking
part and Charles
continues to play alongside the likes of Stephanie Powers and Davey Jones
but
keenly reminisces of his game with the Prince of Wales during the Royal visit
to
Palm Springs California. He also looks forward to playing the field at
Wellington again in the near future. To learn more about this horse loving
American
Icon visit www.charlespitt.com

“Charles Pitt’s voice soars with charm, clarity,
and rhythmic grace. He does not conquer listeners; he seduces
them with warmth of tone; he doesn’t blow you away with
power but caresses you with color and sensuous tone. Pitt’s
voice falls on the ear like the warm touch of a lover’s

Jon Kobal Times/London
AMERICA'S TENOR
CHARLES PITT
Charles Pitt is seducing the masses with his "Popera."
"His voice caresses you and he's the sexiest tenor alive,"
say Madonna and Cindy Crawford after screening of "Be
My Love" at Planet Hollywood. "For pure beauty and
honesty, his voice is without match; it [his voice] truly
does caress you," says Elaine Blythe President of The
Los Angeles Film & Arts. “One word describes his
singing—‘beautiful.’”
Pitt's film credits include: "General Hospital"
“Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” “Godfather
III” “The Winds of War” "Holocaust"
“The Pilot"(with Cliff Robertson)"Monaco Forever"(starring
with Van Damme). Pitt's first love, however, is singing.
“Despite all the Hollywood hype, this man can sing.
Finally, a tenor who sings with warmth and ease; no hefty
Italian assaulting your ears here; a lyric voice with warm
sexy low notes and crystal clear diction. Pitt’s presence
on stage is captivating; his voice seems to float above the
music with angelic lightness supported with an intensity of
deep passion. His singing is not only beautiful but healing.”
Irene Chapman/USA Today
Monte Carlo: 27, 2002
Pitt a Hit July
By ALAN RIDING
MONTE CARLO , Monaco -- The slow demise of the opera festival
in this bucolic southern French city went largely unnoticed
until American Tenor Charles Pitt appeared. Pitt, an American
polo playing tenor, enthralled the audience in a dazzling
program of pop and opera-- “Popera.” When Pitt's
video, "Be My Love" was shown to the capacity audience
at intermission; it drew raves from pop and opera lovers alike.
"Be My Love," echoes the recent wave of nostalgia
and romance complimented by Pitt's athletic good looks and
a voice that expresses passion and intimacy. This "Popera"
is a wonderful new way of presenting spectacular music and
a perfect vehicle for Charles Pitt's world class singing.
Pitt's POPERA" shakes up Opera World Turns on MTV
Crowd
Charles Pitt jumps fences on a hot thoroughbred and hits high
"C" in "Be My Love." Staunch Opera critics
don't like the idea of Opera going MTV but Hollywood loves
it.
Pitt's singing has been described as a combination of Crawford/passion,
Iglesias/sweetness and Pavarotti/power. "These comparisons
make for great and sometimes controversial press, but the
fact is he[Charles Pitt] sings beautifully in true Bel Canto
style moving effortlessly from a French Art song("Pour
Un Baiser") to "Music of the Night" to a stirring,
yet intimate rendition of "Nessun Dorma." ….
A great looking man who sings like an angel with a presence
of strength and vulnerability. Pitt's idea of combining classical
and pop music has found a wide and appreciative audience.
Pitt's Popera is popular.""
Mike Shamini- LA Times
“Charles Pitt, a handsome polo playing tenor sings with
warmth and ease with a voice that soars with charm, clarity
and grace. Sexy low notes and crystal clear diction; he caresses
you with color and sensuous tone. Pitt’s presence on stage
is captivating; due in no small part to the chemistry with his
two gorgeous Russian ladies who play as fabulous as they look;
this menage a trois--bel canto trio-- makes beautiful music."
Felding/LA Times.
“He sat close to her
and touched her face; then began singing softly; we felt more
than we heard from those soft, delicate, beautiful tones—like
sugar and honey, yet with an intensity that fell on us with
great excitement. When he reached the climax of his song [“Serenade”
from Student Prince], a wave of emotion swept over us bringing
many to tears; it was really quite beautiful.” Jennifer
Morgan/Chelsea Art Club/London
MTV Producer, Carlo Gustaff wanted Placido Domingo until
he heard Charles Pitt sing "Granada" and saw him
play polo; he chose Pitt. "Charles Pitt can out ride
and out sing them all. A tenor on a horse who sings as beautiful
as he rides.”
Samantha Charles/Equestrian Magazine
"Charles Pitt may prove to be the finest male singer
of his generation. The effortless quality of his performance
and the depth of communication achieved - the tingling warmth
and feeling in every song - easily justify his reputation"
Q Magazine
