NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Singer Tony Bennett is set to perform at New York's Metropolitan Opera House for the first time, his record label said Tuesday.
Bennett, 85, is to take the stage Sunday during a sold-out show during which he will perform duets with Aretha Franklin, Elton John and Alejandro Sanz, said RPM Records/Columbia Records.
Franklin, John and Sanz all recorded with Bennett for his "Duets" CD projects -- John appeared on the first CD, "Duets" in 2006; and Franklin and Sanz recorded with Bennett for his "Duets II" CD set for release Tuesday.
"The evening at the Metropolitan Opera will also mark the official celebration of Tony's 85th birthday where he will be honored at a post-concert gala hosted by Alec Baldwin," Bennett's record label said in a news release. "The gala is a benefit for Exploring the Arts, the non-profit organization started by Bennett and his wife Susan, to support arts education in public schools."
Richard Gere, Bruce Willis, Katie Couric, Matthew Broderick, Martha Stewart, Joy and Regis Philbin, and Jane and Mitch Winehouse are expected to attend the concert and gala.
