This much I know: José Carreras

I think I was born for singing. At the age of 11 I had already sung a role in the Opera House of Barcelona.

It was quite a big role as I replaced a soprano who became sick. I really think that singing is my life and I consider myself a very fortunateperson.

I studied chemistry for a while and when I was in the army I became a not very successful gardener... but I always wanted to become a tenor. When I saw the movie The great Caruso with Mario Lanza in the title role I was clear I wanted to be a tenor.
