TENOR: My Name Is Pati – Christchurch Premiere

Hailed as “the next Pavarotti”, the charismatic Samoan singer and Sol3 Mio bandmate Pene Pati has been wowing critics and audiences around the world since his operatic debut.

Directed by Rebecca Tansley, TENOR: My Name Is Pati follows Pene’s journey alongside his brother Amitai — also a rising opera star — from their humble beginnings in the South Pacific to the world’s greatest opera houses.

Weaving intimate family archive footage with behind-the-scenes moments and soaring performances, this music-rich documentary blends humour and heart to reveal how family, cultural pride, and determination can carry an unlikely dream to the world stage.

Watch the TENOR: My Name Is Pati trailer here.

Please join us from 6.15pm for a 7.00pm start.

There will be a post screening Q&A with Rebecca and Pene.

Dress as you feel comfortable — smart casual, semi-formal, or glam are all welcome.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this celebratory premiere evening together with our guest of honour, Pene Pati.
