After hearing/working with the finalists one “Christine” and one “Raoul” will be chosen to join him on stage the following night at Angel of Music: A Salute to Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Franc D’Ambrosio is best known as the "Phantom" in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award winning musical, The Phantom of the Opera and was awarded the impressive distinction as the “World’s Longest Running Phantom” which he played for six years.

His resume also includes the role of Al Pacino’s opera singing son, Anthony Corleone, in Francis Ford Coppola’s seven-time Academy Award nominated film "Godfather III."
