About
Josep Maria Carreras Coll (Catalan: [ʒuˈzɛb məˈɾi.ə kəˈreɾəs ˈkɔʎ]; born 5 December 1946), better known as José Carreras (, Spanish: [xoˈse kaˈreɾas]), is a Spanish operatic tenor who is particularly known for his performances in the operas of Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini.
Born in Barcelona, he made his debut on the operatic stage at 11 as Trujamán in Manuel de Falla's El retablo de Maese Pedro, and went on to a career that encompassed over 60 roles, performing in the world's leading opera houses and on numerous recordings. He gained fame with a wider audience as one of the Three Tenors, with Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, in a series of large concerts from 1990 to 2003. He is also known for his humanitarian work as president of the José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation (La Fundació Internacional Josep Carreras per a la Lluita contra la Leucèmia), which he established following his own recovery from the disease in 1988.

José Carreras (en catalan : Josep Carreras i Coll) est un artiste lyrique espagnol, né le 5 décembre 1946 à Barcelone. Réputé pour ses interprétations d'œuvres de Donizetti, Verdi et Puccini, il a notamment participé aux concerts des Trois Ténors, aux côtés de Plácido Domingo et de Luciano Pavarotti.
Atteint depuis les années 1980 d'une leucémie qui le contraint à suspendre sa carrière, il a créé une fondation consacrée à la recherche sur cette maladie.
