Three Tenors (Domingo, Vargas, Cura) and A Soprano (Martínez)

Three of the world's most famous tenors will be taking part in the International Music Festival Český Krumlov this summer. The festival begins July 15th with Mexican tenor Ramón Vargas singing a concert of arias (Verdi, Donizetti, Cilea and Puccini) with the Symphony Orchestra under conductor Ondrej Lenárd in the Garden City Brewery.

Next up is Argentinean tenor José Cura performing one of his signature roles, Canio in I Pagliacci at the Revolving Auditorium on August 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10. The final gala concert will feature Spanish
