Carreras appears with his mentor and frequent co-star Caballe at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, a benefit for Armenian earthquake relief. He had returned to performing only 3 weeks before, having battled leukemia in 1987-8.
Directors: Yuriy Bogatyrenko (as Juri Bogatyrenko), Max Sieber
Stars: Montserrat Caballé, José Carreras
I watched this early because I had no way to sequence it my list other than putting in a title I didn't have, and the date was off by 9 months.
Very pleasant, albeit subdued, concert of duets and solos. Very strange to hear them with only a piano. The Bolshoi audience is very appreciative.
No subtitles, but this is not a story to be followed.
JC (b. '46), MC (b. '33) make a great pair vocally and in personalities, despite their physical and age differences. I've found all 5 of their mutual opera performances online, and queued them for future viewing.
I added the core only of this title to IMDb. Soundtracks are too labor intensive, but here's the list (copied from B&N) with my performer notes and occasional typo fixes.
