SALUTE PETRA
Charity concert and memorial ceremony remembering the life of Luciano Pavarotti

in Petra - Jordan

Andrea Bocelli - Jose Carreras - Placido Domingo - Angela Gheorghiu - Andrea Griminelli - Jovanotti - Aleem Kandour - Edin Karamazov - Cynthia Lawrence - Sherrill Milnes - Laura Pausini - Sting - Zucchero - The Prague Philharmonia, Conductor Eugene Kohn

Top artists from the worlds of classical and popular music performed on Pavarotti’s birthday (October 12) in remembrance of his great talent. The proceeds of the concert will support joint projects in Afghanistan by the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP). Holding this tribute was the idea of Nicoletta Mantovani, Pavarotti’s widow and HRH Princess Haya, the late King Hussein’s daughter who is also a UN Messenger of Peace and knew the Maestro well through their shared involvement in the equestrian world, as well as through his friendship with her late father.

“A concert in Petra was a dream once shared by the late King Hussein of Jordan and Luciano,” explained Nicoletta. “I am so grateful to Her Royal Highness Princess Haya, for making it possible to turn this dream into a reality.”
