Plácido Domingo is a protean artist of universal renown: he is recognized as one of the best musicians of recent decades and as a legendary tenor who has left an indelible mark on the history of opera.
“When I realized that I could never again be satisfied with the simple natural charm of my voice, I realized that I had to constantly paint while singing, blending all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary, more nuanced but bursting with subtly colored combinations. »
Placido Domingo

Considered the greatest lyrical artist of the modern world, Plácido Domingo's career is a series of triumphs on all stages of the world. Born in Madrid in 1941, child of a family active in the art of zarzuela, he began his musical studies in Mexico and learned piano and conducting. His vocal career began at the age of 18 when he participated in a production of Rigoletto in Mexico. At 20, he became Alfredo in La Traviata , a role he remained faithful to throughout his career.

He stands out as the essential tenor lirico spinto, able to master very contrasting roles and sing in many languages. He manages his voice over the long term through continuous work, constant questioning and great modesty. Mastering more than 140 roles, he is the singer with the largest repertoire in the world. We find him in major roles in the cinema. We also remember the famous concert of the three tenors, in 1990, where he shared the stage with his colleagues Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras and which, through its worldwide success, allowed many music lovers to discover the world of opera. The awards and honors received around the world are countless. After performing a few baritone roles, he focused on conducting and that of the Los Angeles Opera.

For this concert, he will be accompanied by the talented Spanish soprano Davinia Rodríguez. It is therefore a unique and exceptional concert that is announced.
