One of the world’s greatest opera tenors, José Carreras, will enchant audiences in Croatia this summer when he performs at the magnificent Pula Arena on 26 August at 9 PM.
Accompanied by the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra, Carreras will deliver a selection of the most beloved arias and songs from his storied career, which has spanned decades and continents.
David Giménez, a renowned conductor known for his deep musical connection with Carreras, will lead the orchestra on the night. His long-standing collaboration with the tenor promises a flawless musical experience.
The evening will be made even more special by a guest appearance from soprano Dušica Bijelić, whose powerful and expressive voice is set to perfectly complement Carreras’s emotive interpretations.
Born in Spain, Carreras is celebrated not only for his exceptional vocal technique and emotional depth, but also for his defining roles in operas by Verdi and Puccini.
With over 60 operatic roles and more than 85 million records sold, he remains one of the most commercially successful classical artists in history.

Beyond the stage, Carreras has left a lasting legacy through his philanthropic work. After surviving leukaemia in 1987, he founded the José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation, dedicated to supporting global research and treatment efforts.
His recovery marked the beginning of a new chapter as a passionate ambassador for classical music. Carreras also helped launch the legendary Three Tenors project alongside Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, captivating audiences worldwide with over 30 concerts that redefined the reach of operatic music.
For fans of classical music and unforgettable live performances, this is a rare chance to witness one of opera’s most iconic voices in a truly historic setting.
