It was announced that Terry Fator and all of the America’s Got Talent Top 5 will be performing at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with Neil.  America’s Got Talent promises to have some surprise guest appearances as well.

Tickets are available here

Neal discovered opera music in his senior year of high school, when his brother was forced to do a school project involving the Three Tenors. His brother had little appreciation for the music, but Neal was so enamored by the passion and skill of the famous trio that he started practicing how to sing in Pavarotti’s Italian style. A creative seed was planted, and Neal went on to study speech communications and music at Southeast Missouri State University, and the University of Missouri’s Columbia branch – graduating from both in 2001. He later went to the New England Conservatory in Boston to study opera, which led to a lead role in the World Premier Opera. With "America’s Got Talent," Neal hopes to finally realize his dream of becoming an international opera star, and inspiring the younger generations the way he was inspired.

The other contestants scheduled to appear are runner up Eli Mattson, Nuttin’ But Stringz, Donald Braswell II, and Queen Emily.
