On the 90th birthday of Luciano Pavarotti , a concert evening commemorates a voice that made opera history. Three tenors from Europe dedicate themselves to the legacy of an artist whose singing has influenced generations – live, unamplified, and with great proximity to the classical tradition.
The focus is on the arias and songs that made Luciano Pavarotti world famous: great opera moments by Verdi, Puccini, and Donizetti meet Italian canzone that still evoke powerful emotions today. Works such as "Nessun dorma," "La donna è mobile," and "E lucevan le stelle" are on the program, as are popular songs such as "'O sole mio," "Torna a Surriento," and "Funiculì, Funiculà." The selection spans the spectrum between the opera stage and the concert hall, between virtuosity and immediate emotional power.
The three tenors bring together different artistic influences: Johannes Groß, founder of the German Tenors, represents the powerful heroic tenor tradition; Oscar Marin, a student of Montserrat Caballé, combines Mediterranean timbre with international opera experience; Ricardo Marinello complements the trio with lyrical elegance and contemporary presence. Together, they create not an imitation, but a respectful approach to a tenor of the century—carried by individual voices and personal interpretation.
The singers are accompanied by pianist Claudia Hirschfeld, whose tribute "Luciano" has already received international acclaim. The evening will be hosted by Thomas Gerres, who will reflect on Pavarotti's life with anecdotes and biographical highlights. The result is a concert that combines memory and the present—a musical tribute to a voice that still resonates today.
