MOSCOW (MT) - World-renowned Spanish tenor Jose Carreras and British soprano Sarah Brightman will unite for a gala concert at the Bolshoi Theater on Nov. 20 at 7 p.m.

Carreras and Brightman gave their first joint performance in 1992 at the Olympic Games in Barcelona, performing their hit "Amigos Para Siempre."

The upcoming concert, with the Russian National Orchestra, directed by David Giminez and Paul Bateman, will be a combination of classical and modern works. Carreras will perform operatic arias and Italian canzones during the first half of the concert. The second half will feature solos by Brightman as well as duets by the pair, including some of the most well-known duets from "Phantom of the Opera," "West Side Story" and other musicals. Part of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to renovation of the Bolshoi Theater.
