Almost 50 years into professional operatic singing, José Carreras, one of the legendary 'The Three Tenors', is concluding his scintillating career with a Global Farewell tour. Citi Credit Cardholders will enjoy the exclusive privilege to be part of this history-making moment as the opera supremo sings live in the one-off Hong Kong Performance at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Hall 5BC) on November 19, 2019. Tickets at HK$880-1,980 will be available on www.hkticketing.com starting from August 23, 2019.

He will be accompanied by an orchestra of 50 musicians on the stage to present a truly international operatic gala, where the maestro will be joined by the brilliant young local soprano Alison Lau. In addition, Chiu Tsang Hei, the cream of homegrown musician, is the orchestra music consultant for this show.
