Jose Carreras Brazil Cancelled: What Happened
Spanish tenor Jose Carreras, 79, was midway through a global farewell tour led by conductor David Gimenez when Brazilian promoter MCA Concerts announced on September 15, 2026, that every remaining Brazil date was off.
The statement, posted through the promoter’s own channels, said simply that the shows in Brazil were cancelled for reasons outside the control of the artist, his agency and the local promoter, without naming those reasons.

The Three Dates Affected
The cancellation covers three concerts: Teatro Positivo in Curitiba on September 23, Vibra Sao Paulo on September 26, and the Auditorio Araujo Vianna in Porto Alegre on September 29.
All three were part of the same farewell run, which had been billed as one of Carreras’s final chances for Brazilian fans to see him perform live before he retires from touring.
What Ticket Holders Need to Do
Buyers get a full refund through the platform where they purchased their ticket; Curitiba ticket holders should use Disk Ingressos, the official vendor for that date, and check its site for the exact refund window.
For the Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre dates, fans should check the confirmation email from their point of sale, since each city used its own local ticketing partner for the show.
No Word Yet on Rescheduling
MCA Concerts has not said whether any of the three shows will be rescheduled for later in the tour or dropped from the itinerary altogether.
Fans hoping for a makeup date should watch the promoter’s official channels rather than resale sites, since no verified new date exists as of this writing.
A Career Near Its Final Curtain
Carreras, one of the three tenors alongside the late Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo, built a decades-long international career that spans opera houses, stadium concerts and the record-breaking trio’s arena tours.
His farewell tour, structured around conductor David Gimenez, had already crossed several countries before the Brazil leg; how the cancellation affects the rest of that schedule is not yet known.
What Is Still Unclear
MCA Concerts has not disclosed the specific circumstances behind the cancellation, and no Brazilian outlet has independently confirmed a reason beyond the promoter’s brief statement.
Fans should treat any claim about a cause, or about a future Brazil date, as unconfirmed until it comes directly from MCA Concerts or the artist’s own team.
