10th Anniversary Memorial Concert for Pavarotti’s Passing: Carreras, Domingo, and Pavarotti Perform ‘My Way’ at Verona Outdoor Theater
On September 6, 2017, the beautiful Verona Outdoor Theater in Italy became the site of an emotional and unforgettable tribute to the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, marking the 10th anniversary of his passing. The concert, aptly named the 10th Anniversary Memorial Concert for Pavarotti’s Passing, brought together three of the greatest tenors of our time—José Carreras, Plácido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti himself—albeit in a truly remarkable, yet poignant way.
The trio, often referred to as “The Three Tenors,” reunited for a special performance of “My Way,” one of the most iconic songs in music history. While Pavarotti was no longer physically present, the spirit of his incomparable voice and legacy reverberated through every note of the performance. Carreras and Domingo, both long-time friends and collaborators of Pavarotti, honored him in the most fitting manner, their voices blending seamlessly in a beautiful rendition of this timeless classic.
The Verona Outdoor Theater, known for its stunning acoustics and rich historical significance, provided the perfect setting for this emotional concert. As the two tenors sang in tribute to their late friend, the audience was transported through an unforgettable musical experience, one that celebrated not just Pavarotti’s genius, but also the unbreakable bond between these three legends of opera.
The performance of “My Way” was especially poignant, as it symbolized the personal and professional journeys of each of these remarkable men. With each word, Carreras and Domingo infused the piece with deep emotion, and for a brief moment, it felt as though Pavarotti himself was there with them, his voice and spirit continuing to shine through in every phrase.
The 10th anniversary memorial concert was more than just a tribute—it was a celebration of the immense contributions Pavarotti made to the world of opera and music. It was a reminder of his legacy, which continues to inspire both artists and audiences alike. As the final notes of “My Way” echoed through the Verona Theater, the entire audience stood in reverence, knowing they had just witnessed a historic and emotional performance that honored one of the greatest voices the world has ever known.
