The legendary July concert of 1990, when Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and José Carreras met on stage in The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, marked the appearance of the Three Tenors. 800 million people attended this magical act, which caused a pleasant excitement in the history of classical music.

They avoided direct competition and collaborated in a spirit of mutual admiration to create one of the greatest musical events in history. This concert is a thrill-inspiring experience for the audience, where everyone wins by listening to supermen sing the hearts of the audience.

Domingo, Carreras, Mehta, and Pavarotti in relaxed mode rehearsing for the concert in Caracalla

At one point, Domingo brings breathtaking fire and pain in “E lucevan le stelle” from Tosca; at the next moment, Pavarotti rises to heavenly heights in the inspired performance of “Nessun dorma” from Turandot. Carreras’ enthusiasm and passion are unparalleled. Mehta’s Zubin, through a grand orchestra, captures the greatness of this miracle.

Join Luciano Pavarotti together with his friends and colleagues Plácido Domingo and José Carreras in the most successful classical music concert of all time: the incredible Three Tenors at the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome held on the eve of the 1990 FIFA World Cup final in Italy, with Zubin Mehta conducting the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the Orchestra del Teatro dell’Opera di Roma.
