HONG KONG, Nov 30 (AP) -- Italian opera star Luciano Pavarotti said Wednesday he plans to perform again with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras once or twice in a reunion of the "Three Tenors" before his retirement.

"I think we are going to make another concert or two before I retire," he said.

The 70-year-old Pavarotti made his comments at a press conference promoting the Hong Kong stop of his farewell tour.

He said he plans to tour for another year or two.

The tenor said he wants his final performance to take place in a venue where he appeared when he first started out but hasn't made a final decision, although he singled out several possibilities.

"There are many places where I think I should finish ... 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.

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 Wednesday's press conference.

He said he plans to teach singing and spend time with his 2-year-old daughter after retiring.
