Renowned Spanish tenor Jose Carreras was rehearsing yesterday for his
performance at the closing ceremony of the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer
Games at Jiangwan Stadium tomorrow night. "Special Olympics is very emotional
for all of us," Carreras said. According to Teng Junjie, chief director of
the ceremony, Carreras will present "Friends for Life" with Chinese soprano Liu
Lian in Chinese, English and Spanish. The song was also sung at the Summer
Olympics 1992 in Barcelona. On Friday evening, Carreras' solo concert at
Shanghai Grand Theater will include a tribute to his friend, Italian opera star
Luciano Pavarotti, who died last month. "Pavarotti was a very exceptional
artist," Carreras said. "I will sing some beautiful songs we used to sing
together."
