WITH US: KEVIN PABST & FLORIAN SCHÄFER
One of the greatest and most famous classical music stars of our time returns to Germany in winter 2025. Paul Potts serves the audience very special highlights on an international level. Today's world star has realized his very own dream. The fact that Paul Potts is on the big stages today was anything but a matter of course. After being bullied and mocked at school, he found refuge in the local church choir. When he heard La Boheme at the age of 16, he fell in love with opera and began a passionate romance that took him on a turbulent journey. He eventually won the first season of Britain's Got Talent in 2007 and it changed his life forever. For Bristol-born Paul Potts, music has always been a source of solace from years of bullying, financial hardship, medical setbacks and a lack of self-confidence. That's why he jumped at the chance to appear on the first episode of Britain's Got Talent. The cell phone salesman took to the microphone in front of the judges to present his rendition of Nessun Dorma. As his voice soared, Britain - and the whole world - fell in love with his story and his incredible talent. Not long after, 12 million viewers witnessed Potts being crowned the winner of Britain's Got Talent. His audition of 'Nessun Dorma' remains one of the most watched videos in YouTube history, his debut and multi-platinum album "One Chance" reached number one in 15 countries and he was twice invited to perform for Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Performance.
Paul's enduring passion for music shows that he is still sharing his incredible gift with fans on every continent.
His inspirational journey was also told in the Hollywood film "One Chance". But that was by no means the end of his story. Quite the opposite: Paul Potts has been touring continuously since then and has already performed over 1,000 shows in 45 countries.
In addition to "One Chance", he has released six other studio albums, including "Passione" (2009), "Cinema Paradiso" (2010) and "Home" (2014), as well as a greatest hits collection (2013). In 2017, he released his fifth studio album "On Stage" to mark the tenth anniversary of his historic victory, followed by "Winter Dreams" (2019). Paul Potts album "Musica Non Proibita", is a double album of arias that he recorded during his "At Home" sessions during the lockdown. He also took part in "America's Got Talent: The Champions" and prevailed in the grand final against other winners from all over the world. Despite the turbulent last few years in the touring industry, Paul Potts has managed to perform in South Korea, Japan, Scandinavia, Germany, the UK and Wales. He also spent many months in the recording studio. In April 2022, he appeared as "Koala" in the German version of "The Masked Singer" and thrilled the audience with classics by A-Ha, Toto, Elton John and Dua Lipa.
On his tour in winter 2025, Paul Potts will be accompanied by trumpet virtuoso and entertainer Kevin Pabst and pianist Florian Schäfer.
