José Carreras in Riga: "A Life in Music”

BC, Riga, 11.02.2016.Print version

For his farewell tour, José Carreras has prepared a special program titled "A Life in Music”, comprised of his greatest hits, including songs from the "beautiful era", opera arias, excerpts from operettas and musicals. Truly an evening of passion and emotion, an ode to life, awaits the Arena “Riga” audience on February 20th, reports liveriga.com.

 

This will be a unique opportunity to see and experience one of the renowned " Three Tenors" for the last time.

 

The year 2004 in José Carreras' career marked a sensational return to the opera stage – with a title-role in the brand new "El Juez". Ovations, rave reviews, and completely sold-out performances in several metropolises marked his triumphant return after hiatus of eight long years.

 

Inspired by the response to his comeback, the great tenor began preparing his global tour "A Life in Music". Carreras describes his concert program as a"highly personal, rather intimate retrospective", with songs that have always excited and moved him. These compositions embody emotion, heart and soul, which are delivered to the audience through the voice, he explains.

 

José Carreras will perform in Riga together with a symphony orchestra conducted by David Giménez.

 

To be sure, this will be no ordinary concert, but a very special night reflecting this superstar’s truly wonderful life of music.
