Sting CDs at eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay DE
The Luciano Pavarotti tribute concert staged recently in the world heritage site of Petra, Jordan, in front of only 500 people, now will be available to a much wider audience. A 90-minute filmed version of the October 12 show will screen in 24 U.K. cinemas December 2 in high definition, followed by the December 8 DVD release "The Pavarotti Tribute: One Amazing Weekend in Petra" (Decca). All money raised from DVD sales will go to the UNHCS World Food Program; the commercial deal for the cinema release also includes a charity contribution. The event "Salute Petra, Celebrating the Life of Luciano Pavarotti" was staged to coincide with the singer's birthday. The world-renowned tenor died at 71 in September 2007. ... The October 12 show at the Amareen Camp featured Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, who performed with Pavarotti as the Three Tenors for more than 17 years. Among other performers were Sting, Angela Gheorghiu and Andrea Bocelli. ... The weekend's events were conceived by Nicoletta Mantovani Pavarotti and Princess Haya of Jordan. A memorial took place October 11, featuring tributes from Sting and Bono. So far, the Pavarotti tribute-concert project has raised about 2.4 million euros, according to Goldsmith.
