Empire Delivers the World-Renowed, Operatic Pop Group Il Divo for the Miss Vietnam World Pageant in Vietnam
When the Organizing Committee of the 2nd Miss Vietnam World Pageant wanted the world-renown musical group Il Divo to perform at the final night of the 2010 coronation, they turned to Empire Entertainment to secure the group for their first ever visit to Vietnam. The Miss World Vietnam Pageant took place at Vinpearl Land in Nha Trang, Vietnam and was broadcast live throughout Southeast Asia and the world on VTV3 & VTV4. Il Divo kicked off the live program with a dramatic performance of "Amazing Grace", joined onstage by all 40 pageant contestants. Il Divo returned to the stage to perform two final songs - "Regresa A Mi" & "The Winner Takes It All" - thrilling the sold-out audience of 5,000 fans.Upon their arrival in Ho Chi Minh City a press conference was held to introduce Il Divo to Vietnam. They took questions from the local media, posed for photos with Vietnam's top actresses and singers, and sat down with Vietnam's two largest newspapers for one-on-one interviews.
In addition to contract negotiation and delivering the group, Empire managed each aspect of Il Divo's participation for the press conference, performance, and all other logistics throughout their visit in Vietnam. Empire coordinated with the local audio vendors, television and stage directors, lighting, and graphics using Vietnamese translators when needed to ensure that all production aspects were in order.
