Engelbert Humperdinck, born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras (now Chennai) and raised in Leicester, England, is one of the most enduring figures in popular music. Originally performing under his real name Gerry Dorsey, he adopted his now-famous stage name in 1965 โ a move that proved transformative. Within a few years he scored a transatlantic number-one with 'Release Me', famously keeping the Beatles off the top spot in the UK.
Over more than four decades, Humperdinck has become celebrated as a consummate showman with a rich, versatile voice suited to ballads, pop and easy listening. He has sold hundreds of millions of records worldwide and continues to tour internationally.
This concert at the historic Thรฉรขtre Capitole in Old Quebec will feature highlights from across his long career. Audiences can expect a warm, polished performance from an artist known affectionately as 'the Humper' by his devoted fanbase.
The show begins at 14:00 EDT on Monday, October 12, 2026. The Thรฉรขtre Capitole is located at 972 Rue St-Jean, Quebec City, Canada.
