The legendary Plácido Domingo, who shone as a conductor at the 67th Ljubljana Festival, returns to the Festival stage this summer. The Spanish musician has sung more than 150 different roles over the course of his career, an achievement not matched by any other opera singer. He is the recipient of numerous honorary doctorates, Grammy Awards and other accolades, and as one of the Three Tenors alongside Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras, brought opera closer to the masses. Not only that, but in 1993 he founded the world opera competition Operalia, at which prizes have been won by top opera singers such as Joseph Calleja, José Cura, Erwin Schrott, Joyce DiDonato and Sonya Yoncheva, and many others for whom victory at this competition has opened the doors into the world of opera. Domingo is also a successful conductor and to date has conducted more than 500 operas and concerts by some of the world’s finest orchestras. As a singer, in recent years he has mainly sung baritone roles.
He will be joined at the 70th Ljubljana Festival by soprano María José Siri and the opera stars will be accompanied by the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jordi Bernàcer, young conductor in great ascent who has been assisting Lorin Maazel and Zubin Mehta.
