Opera legend Jose Carreras provided a treat to an audience of 3,000 who packed St
George's Square, Valletta last Friday.

Accompanied by one of Malta's leading sopranos, Lydia Caruana, he sang to the music of the National Orchestra, conducted by David Gimenez Carreras . With the President's Palace providing the backdrop to the event, the concert kicked off the summer calender of cultural events in Valletta to be held in the various piazzas and gardens, including the ruins of the former Royal Opera House.
