Pop-opera quartet Il Divo has quite an audIL DIVO

Worldwide, Il Divo is the most successful of the following four acts — if you’re just counting album and ticket sales.

The pop-opera quartet has only been around for six albums, but has an international audience that keeps growing since its members hail from four different countries.

Carlos Marin comes from Spain, Sebastien Izambard is from France, Urs Buhler calls Switzerland home and David Miller is a U.S. citizen.

Individually, they could be headlining major opera productions, but this pre-fabricated group is doing just fine together, singing a mixture of pop and standard songs, mostly in other languages.

The group’s new CD, “Wicked Game,” features Chris Isaak’s hit tune plus foreign versions of “Crying,” “Come What May” and others. For English-speaking fans, the album also includes the Broadway favorites “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” and “Time to Say Goodbye.”

If you still aren’t sure about attending the group’s show Saturday at The Mann Center for the Performing Arts at 52nd Street and Parkside Avenue in Philadelphia, pick up a copy of “Live in London,” Il Divo’s 2011 concert DVD that features most of the songs the foursome is performing on this tour. Other songs you might hear at this show are “Hallelujah,” “Somewhere” and “Unbreak My Heart.”
