José Carreras promises magic in Musgrave with Katherine Jenkins

Opera legend José Carreras has promised a magical midsummer night when he performs his first concert in Cork next year.

“The programme will contain great music from opera, operetta, musical, and song in an evening to remember,” the Spanish tenor said.

Carreras, 68, who shot to fame following a performance during the 1990 World Cup in Rome with Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo as ‘The Three Tenors’, will perform a double bill with Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins and the City of Cork Symphony Orchestra at a fully seated concert at Musgrave Park on June 20, it was announced yesterday.
