José Carreras
The world-famous Catalan Spanish operatic tenor, José Carreras, is one of the world's most prominent singers of his generation, and particularly eminent in the operas of Verdi and Puccini. His operatic career has encompassed over 60 roles on stage and in the recording studio. He gained fame with a wider audience as one of The Three Tenors along with Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti in a series of legendary and record-breaking concerts that began in 1990 and continued until 2003. Carreras is also known for his humanitarian work as the President of the José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation, which he established following his own recovery in 1988. His voice has been described as "... a honeyed lyric tenor, richly colored, clear and true and possessing a sensual beauty that is quite extraordinary." Only Bay Area recital.
