HONG KONG (AP) – Luciano Pavarotti says he hopes to perform with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras in a reunion of The Three Tenors before he retires.

“I think we are going to make another concert or two,” he said Wednesday at a press conference promoting the Hong Kong stop of his farewell tour.

Pavarotti, wearing black and a big yellow, blue and pink-striped scarf, appeared sluggish, needing help to walk onto the stage where he sat for the press conference.

The 70-year-old tenor, who intends to tour for several more years, said he wants his final performance to take place in a venue where he appeared during the early days of his career.

“I should end where I began my big career, in Milan and London, or Vienna, and more than everything, at the Met in New York. I don’t know. I have to see,” he said.
