Inspired by the legendary Pavarotti & Friends concerts, one of the world’s most celebrated tenors, José Carreras, is hosting an extraordinary one-night-only extravaganza exclusive to Queensland!
Revered globally as one of opera’s most extraordinary voices, Carreras has performed at the world’s leading opera houses and cemented his place in music history through the legendary Three Tenors concerts alongside Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, watched by billions around the world.
Now, Carreras & Friends will be lighting up The Gabba this year as a spectacular open-air concert experience uniting some of the world’s biggest stars in duet with José Carreras. Rather than a traditional concert, the evening will unfold as a seamless musical journey, with Carreras personally guiding audiences through a series of extraordinary collaborations, surprise moments and solo performances featuring global music icons from opera, rock and pop.
Artists such as Natalie Imbruglia, Sheppard, Darren Hayes (Truly Madly Deeply), The Corrs (Breathless and Runaway), and others will perform both duets with Carreras and solo performances of their own hits, culminating with Robbie Williams performing My Way and Angels in duet with Carreras!
Australian audiences will have a rare opportunity to witness one of the greatest tenors of all time perform live alongside an extraordinary cast of global music icons in a stadium spectacular curated exclusively for Queensland. In fact, the whole evening will be backed by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and choir, helping Carreras & Friends transform The Gabba into a world-class show blending timeless opera, beloved contemporary classics, powerful collaborations, and suprising moments under the Brisbane sky.
The evening will be conducted and musically directed by internationally renowned maestro Keith Levenson, whose stellar career includes collaborations with The Who, Stevie Nicks, KISS and Meat Loaf.
