History
The members of Amici Forever met when rehearsing and performing at opera venues around the world. The band currently features a tenor, a baritone, and two soprano singers. Tenor Geoff Sewell, originally from New Zealand, came up with the idea of an "opera band" mixing traditional opera with contemporary pop.
One of the original five members, Nick Garrett (bass baritone)|Nick Garrett, a bass-baritone, left the group in August 2005, shortly after the release of ''Defined''. Amici's website did not elaborate but seemed to indicate the parting was amicable.
Tenor Geoff Sewell left the group in February 2006 after his daughter Sienna was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This was just after the highly successful tour of Australia and New Zealand. Amici Forever have celebrated two No 1 albums with ''The Opera Band'' and ''Defined'' in Geoff Sewell's homeland of New Zealand. He was replaced with Brazilian Italian Baritone Bruno Santino.<ref>{{cite web| url... read all
