The legendary tenor premieres his new show at the Royal Albert Hall in May. Don't miss the opportunity to see José Carreras, one of the iconic 'Three Tenors'.

Legendary tenor José Carreras will premiere his stunning new show at the Royal Albert Hall in May: a very personal, intimate career retrospective from one of the world’s greatest ever opera stars. This follows his triumphant return to the stage with the new opera El Juez in season 2014/15.

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, alongside Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti.

José Carreras said: “I am incredibly excited about presenting my new show at the Royal Albert Hall. For me this will be a very special occasion to share all of the music that means the most to me.

“There will be ‘greatest hits’ and many special surprises, as I celebrate A Life in Music. I hope you can join me on May 15 for what promises to be an incredible evening.”

The show, which is in London for one night only, will see the Grammy and Emmy award-winning classical superstar accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra as he revisits many of his all time favourite pieces.

A Life in Music will include opera, operetta, musical numbers, music from the Mediterranean and songs from the Belle Époque.

It will be the first time José has appeared at the Royal Albert Hall since 2008, when he starred in a gala concert in aid of The José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation and Mencap.
