On Christmas Eve 1999 in Vienna, three legendary voices – Luciano Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo – gave a memorable performance in the Christmas in Vienna 1999 program. “Feliz Navidad”, the traditional Christmas carol by José Feliciano, was performed by three world-famous opera artists with all the power, emotion and excellent musical technique. The combination of three top tenors not only created a warm musical space, but also revived a meaningful part of the Christmas spirit.
Nicknamed “The Three Tenors”, Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo created a phenomenon in the classical music world. Each of their voices has its own distinct color: Pavarotti with his magnificence and depth, Carreras with his softness and emotion, and Domingo with his power and strength. When these three voices blend together in “Feliz Navidad”, the Christmas atmosphere is lit up, creating an atmosphere that is both solemn and intimate. “Feliz Navidad” is originally a cheerful song, full of the Christmas spirit with its lively melodies and sweet lyrics. However, when these three tenors perform it, it is breathed into another depth. The climaxes are handled skillfully by the artists, when Pavarotti and Domingo raise their voices to high notes together, while Carreras creates emotional softness in each line. These three voices not only blend together but also compliment each other, creating a perfect arrangement.
