Placido Domingo's invitation to the concert at Lisinski Hall in Zagreb

In the concert hall, personally experiencing Plácido Domingo , one of the greatest musical artists of today and the history of music in general, means not only being a participant in a historical event, but also having the privilege of being part of a musical spectacle to remember! World famous, charismatic, inimitable, an icon of the opera music scene, an artist whom the audience adores and who is a favorite guest of the most famous opera and music stages in the world, the director of several of the largest opera houses in the USA, a man who knows the art of opera in all its aspects and nuances , perhaps like no other in the world!
 
In an impressive career, he collaborated with the greatest conductors and opera singers of his time, and besides on the stages of the most famous opera houses, he performed some of the anthology opera roles in film versions, collaborating with iconic directors, such as the famous Franco Zeffirelli or Francesco Rosi. It is impossible to enumerate all of Domingo's brilliant operatic roles: in his brilliant career, he embodied more than one hundred and fifty main roles in the anthology of world opera literature and performed in more than four thousand opera performances! His Olympic artistic status is also confirmed by the fact that, along with Pavarotti and Carreras, he is one of the Three Tenors , that he has recorded more than a hundred sound carriers and as many videos of anthology opera productions, for which he received twelve Grammy awards., to mention just that, one of the world's most famous awards, out of several hundreds that have been awarded to him from all continents!
 
It is less known to the general public that Domingo is also a conductor! He studied conducting with one of the world's greatest conductors of the 20th century, Igor Markevič in Mexico! In his rich musical career, Domingo conducted more than six hundred symphony concerts and opera performances.
 
Everyone who knows Plácid Domingo is unanimous in their assessment that he embodies a fulminant musical temperament and a fascinating knowledge of the opera tradition in his conducting skills.
 
Verdi's Requiem , a masterpiece from the pen of an unsurpassed opera composer, is one of the most successful syntheses of opera and oratorio tradition in history, a deeply inspired and experienced grandiose work in which the most intense and dramatic cries of man rise to unattainable divine heights and are permeated with wonderful, yearning , with genius melodies that only a true genius could materialize from the unfathomable spheres of the Most High! Plácido Domingo in Lisinski : a great artistic spectacle that we await with undisguised joy and impatience!
