The Three Tenors is the name given to a trio of opera singers who performed together during the 1990s and early 2000s: Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti.
Career
The Three Tenors banded together after a successful benefit concert (for Jose Carreras' Leukemia foundation) at the Baths of Caracalla.
