Pavarotti's concert will also be a reminder of everything the Italian artist did for Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1990s war as he relayed news of the tragic events in the country, said Ivica Saric, culture minister of Sarajevo Canton, the sponsor of the concert.
In the southern city of Mostar Pavarotti founded a music centre bearing his name.
He is expected to be joined by Italian soprano Carmela Remiglio and accompanied by the Sarajevo Philharmonics.
The concert is expected to be held in the Zetra Olympic hall.
