A STAR-STUDDED tribute concert to Luciano Pavarotti, held in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan in October 2008, will be screened at The Plaza, Truro, this week.

The Pavarotti Tribute concert brought together stars from the classical and popular worlds on what would have been Pavarotti's 73rd birthday.

Against a breathtaking natural amphitheatre, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras sang together for the first time since Pavarotti's death heralded the end of the Three Tenors. Andrea Boccelli performed from Tosca and was joined by others to sing from Puccini's La Boheme, while Sting performed La Ci Darem from Don Giovanni with opera star Angela Gheorghiu, and U2 frontman Bono gave a tribute message to the master.

Other performers included Andrea Griminelli, Zucchero, Jovanotti, Laura Pausini, all supported by the Prague Philharmonia Orchestra.

You can see the 90-minute film at The Plaza on Sunday at 8.25pm (£7) and Wednesday at 1.30pm (£7, senior rate £5). You can use the Orange 2 for 1 promotion on Wednesday.
