Bel
Canto restaurant in London will be slashing its prices to serve the
'Three Tenners' Menu in honour of José Carreras, who has
announced his exit from the operatic stage.
Carreras,
along with Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo, made up one
third of famous operatic trio, the Three Tenors.
From May 19-21
diners can savour some of the greatest arias, duets and choruses in
town while enjoying a luxurious three-course meal - for £30 a head.
The menu will also
mark the arrival of internationally renowned head chef, Gilles
Martin, while paying homage to the annual Glyndebourne Festival,
which begins on May 21.
Bel Canto is the
creation of owner Jean-Paul Maurel, whose sister restaurants at
d'Hotel de Ville and on Neuilly-sur-Seine in Paris are renowned
amongst Parisians as the premier venues for erudite dining.
The concept
restaurant sees rigorously auditioned young opera singers serve as
waiters, who break into live performances throughout the evening.
"I am very
excited to be working in London at Jean-Paul Maurel's latest
restaurant. And to have my dishes served by such talented opera
singers is a great privilege," says Martin.
The gifted
stars-to-be - many of whom are students at the Guildhall School of
Music and Drama - will be performing at this year's Glyndebourne Festival.
"Music and
food are delicacies that should not be rushed," says owner
Jean-Paul Maurel. "At Bel Canto diners are invited to take
their time and absorb the sensory experience our expert singers and
chefs create. My staff turn a meal into a virtuoso performance."
