The Barcelona native, who became a star of the world opera
stage in the 1970s and later rose to superstardom alongside
Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti in the Grammy-winning
tenor trio, is scheduled to perform the show on May 15, 2016,
the promoters said on Thursday.
"'A Life in Music' will take fans on a unique musical journey,
as José sings the songs that have influenced and defined his
life, from the tunes he loved as a boy to the arias and songs he
performed as one of the famous Three Tenors," they said in a
statement.
Carreras said the show would include greatest hits and special
surprises.
"For me this will be a very special occasion to share all of the
music that means the most to me," he said.
The show will also feature opera, operetta, musical numbers,
music from the Mediterranean and songs from the Belle Époque,
with Carreras accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert
Orchestra,
Carreras started singing at the age of six after seeing Mario
Lanza in the movie biography "The Great Caruso" about the
Italian tenor Enrico Caruso.
He appeared as a boy soprano in Barcelona and came to the
attention of the Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballe, who helped
launch him on an operatic career.
Carreras suffered from a life-threatening bout with leukemia in
the 1980s.
