Announcing his visit to Zadar, José Carreras said:

„ I am really looking forward to come to this wonderful town for the first time! I was already in Croatia like in the fantastic Arena of Pula - or in Zagreb - where I performed also in the Opera House. So it is for me a return to a country which is beautiful and where the audience was always very warm with me. I am sure that the people of Zadar and we - Soprano Celine Byrne and myself - will spend a nice summer evening together with music which fits perfectly in this Mediterranean surrounding.”
