The Three Mexican Tenors to perform in Costa Mesa

Classical music trio The Three Mexican Tenors will perform with the Pacific Symphony, led by Principal Pops Conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez in Costa Mesa. 

The show will include operatic pieces like “Libiamo” and “O Sole Mio,” as well as Broadway tunes and pop hits such as “You Raise Me Up” and “My Way.”

Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuélla will also join the vocalists and orchestra to celebrate Mexican musical heritage. Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar was founded in 1994 by Jaime Cuéllar.

Performances take place on May 15-16, 2026, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. 

The performance is part of Pacific Symphony’s 2025-26 Pops Series with a rare collaboration between father and son. Jorge Lopez-Yañez, father of Enrico Lopez-Yañez, who leads the orchestra, is joined by tenors Bernardo Bermudez and Alfredo Carillo.

Mexican-Venezuelan American baritenor Bernardo Bermudez has performed with opera companies throughout North America. Notable roles include Diego Rivera in “Frida,” Figaro in “Il barbiere di Siviglia,” Stanley Kowalski “in A Streetcar Named Desire” and Danilo in “The Merry Widow.”

Alfredo Carrillo is renowned for his portrayals of Don José in “Carmen,” Alfredo Germont in “La Traviata” and Rodolfo in “La Bohème Carrillo has performed across Mexico, the United States, Costa Rica and Europe.

“It is truly an honor to work alongside my father,” said Enrico Lopez-Yañez. “He has always been a musical inspiration to me and has played a critical role in forming my musical tastes and upbringing. This program is deeply personal with songs my dad sang throughout my life, and I love the special mix of genres this program brings to our audiences.”

“Not many people can say they get to work and perform with their son,” said Jorge Lopez-Yañez. “Because of my role with The Three Mexican Tenors, and my son’s position as a conductor, I have the pleasure of doing both! The Three Mexican Tenors highlight our love for a broad range of musical genres, from beloved romantic ballads to hit songs made famous by many cultural icons. Though our voices and upbringings are unique, when we come together in collaboration, the arrangement is vibrant and filled with emotion.”
