The title of his newest hit single, America, is no coincidence. But the pieces de resistance will be Julio's new songs, being introduced to the public before his second all-English album is released. The shows will include a comedy act by Roseanne Barr, a chunky 33-year-old housewife from Denver who has appeared with Julio on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Music fans in South Florida, where Julio owns a $3 million home, can see him perform at the Sunrise Musical Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and at Miami Knight Center the nights of Oct. He is the midst of his second North American tour, in which he will visit 45 cities in 130 days and will perform in, among other places, Caesars Palace, Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl. They run 3 schools the MIR Esperanza (boys vocational school), the Escuela Tecnica Vocacional Fundación MIR (girls vocational school) and the Primaria MIR (infants school).So having conquered the rest of the world, Julio, who turned 43 last month, seems obsessed with really making it in his adopted country, the United States. The Fundación MIR is a non-profit organization which works to provide education to the children of the greater La Romana area, who are most in need. It won’t cost you any more to buy your tickets from the Fundación MIR, so just in case you needed any more motivation to do so, here you can read a little more about the cause your purchase will be helping: NOTE: Please remember to buy your tickets from the FUNDACIÓN MIR so that your purchase can benefit this wonderful cause! 80 – please note we have not been able to confirm this, as when I called nobody answered the phone….
Tickets are also on sale at UEPA Tickets (Bella Vista Mall) and MovieMax stores in Santo Domingo, as well as Jumbo in La Romana – BUT we urge you to purchase your tickets directly from the Fundación MIR – as a percentage of all sales made the Fundación MIR will be donated to their cause, this is NOT the case if you buy your tickets from somewhere else. Tickets for the Julio Iglesias concert scheduled for Saturday the 28th of December at 8pm in the Altos de Chavón amphitheater in Casa de Campo are already on sale (see below for prices) – at the Fundación MIR office in Altos de Chavón, who will receive a 20% of the sales they make. Super news! Not only are the much awaited tickets for the Julio Iglesias concert in Altos de Chavón now on sale – but also a whopping 20% of ticket sales made by the Fundación MIR to be contributed to this fabulous charity that runs 3 schools in La Romana!
