The Three Tenors in Concert 1994

The legendary tenors José Carreras, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, together with conductor Zubin Mehta, celebrated the finale to soccer's 1994 World Cup with a concert described as probably the biggest single musical event in history .

Brought together for the 1990 World Cup in Italy, The 3 Tenors and Mehta joined forces again, this time in Los Angeles Dodger Stadium on July 16th 1994 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Music Center Opera Chorus, to perform a selection of operatic arias and international favourites specially orchestrated by composer/arranger Lalo Schifrin.

The result is an outstanding film, reflecting a unique event, featuring three legendary performers who share a united passion for opera and football.

THE VISION: THE MAKING OF THE 3 TENORS IN CONCERT 1994

The Vision gives you the chance to look behind the scenes and watch as the story of The Making of The 3 Tenors in Concert 1994 unfolds.

With Budapest's Heroes Square as the inspiration, a baseball stadium is transformed into the greatest amphitheatre ever built, combining classical architecture with the beauty of nature.

A vast array of contracts are agreed, the repertoire is chosen (changed and chosen again!), including medleys specially arranged by renowned composer Lalo Schifrin, an orchestra and chorus are prepared, sound and live recording equipment is installed... and Los Angeles' busy air traffic is persuaded to keep away from the stadium during the concert.

From an intimate charity concert in Monte Carlo in June, there is exclusive film of The 3 Tenors relaxing, rehearsing and in concert performing Libiamo ne lieti calici and Granada . And six weeks later in Los Angeles, Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti and Mehta are captured at their final dress rehearsal before the momentous 1994 concert.

Finally, as World Cup fever and tenor-mania grip Los Angeles simultaneously, four of classical music's premier and most popular talents combine to perform La donna é mobile from the concert that enthralled the world.
