José Carreras started his professional career in the Gran Teatre del Liceu of Barcelona in Nabucco and Lucrezia Borgia. His meteoric musical career resulted in early debuts at the world's most prestigious opera theatres and festivals. Carreras’ popularity extends well beyond opera, particularly with the record-breaking success in the last decade of the Three Tenors concerts with Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. His repertoire includes over sixty operas, and his extensive discography includes over 150 recordings, notably 50 complete operas, oratories, popular and classical recitals. He has been awarded many gold and platinum discs worldwide. Carreras has performed the leading role in several operatic films for television, cinema and video, including La Bohème, I Lombardi, Andrea Chenier, Turandot, Carmen, Verdi's Requiem, Don Carlo, La Forza del Destino, Stiffelio, Fedora and Jerusalem. Carreras portrayed Julian Gayarre in the motion picture Romanza Final. In 1990 in Rome and 1994 in Los Angeles, with his colleagues Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, he performed two extraordinary concerts watched worldwide by audiences of over two billion, which created an unprecedented impact in the world of opera. The 1996-97 season saw him performing dates as part of the third "Three Tenors" tour. Carreras continues to perform all over the world.
