The Spanish tenor, part of the Three Tenors group with José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti, has become a shareholder in Virtuosos Holding, the company that owns global rights to the eponymous format.
The show, which has aired on Hungary’s MTVA since 2014, sees children and young adults compete by playing classical pieces as well as movie themes, while they are judged by five professional judges. The series is produced by Mariann Peller.
Fulwell 73, which is partly backed by Corden and also produces series including Comedy Central’s Roast Battle and BBC’s Sounds Like Friday Night, is to develop adaptations in the U.S. and UK following the format deal.
