Always a chronicler of important social, artistic and sporting trends and events, LeRoy Neiman commemorates the 1996-1997 worldwide concert tour of the opera singers Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, better known to the world as the Three Tenors. No one ever needs to ask "Which three tenors?" These are unquestionably the three greatest living tenors, each man having made himself a place in opera history with dazzling performances and intense devotion to their artistry. In joining forces, they offer the music world a stunning and unforgettable display of musical power and ability. Neiman's tribute to the Three Tenors is an apparently straightforward portrait in which each of the tenors are instantly recognizable. But in an aria of his own, the artist also conveys their emotions in his unique, expressive style. Performers at the top of their craft, they radiate a mixture of confidence, strength accomplishment, pride and joy. Arms are raised in triumph as they receive the ovation from the audience. Behind them, bright stage lighting in red, green, blue and gold highlights their black and white formal wear as well as Pavarotti's trademark handkerchief.
