The Original Three Tenors Concert [1990]

30 years ago, on the starry evening of 7 July 1990, on the eve of the Italia ’90 FIFA World Cup, an “impossible dream” came true. Against the majestic backdrop of the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, superstar tenors José Carreras, Plácido Domingo & Luciano Pavarotti were joined by more than two hundred musicians and conductor Zubin Mehta for a spectacular event that made musical history and made the ‘Three Tenors’ synonymous with the ‘Beautiful Game’ to so many worldwide, and became the best-selling classical album of all time.
