  • Plácido Domingo – a Short Biography
    Plácido Domingo – a short biography Plácido Domingo was born in the Barrio de Salamanca district of Madrid on January 21, 1941. He is the son of Plácido Domingo Ferrer and Pepita Embil Echaníz, two Spanish Zarzuela performers, who nurtured his early musical abilities. Domingo's father, a violinist performing for opera and zarzuela orchestra, was half Catalan and half Aragonese, while his mother, an established singer, was a Basque. After moving to Mexico at the age of 8, Plácido Domingo went to Mexico City’s Conservatory of Music to study piano and conducting, but eventually was sidetracked into vocal training after his voice was discovered. The highly gifted singer had his first professional engagement as accompanist to his mother in a concert at Mérida, Yucatan, in 1957. He soon achieved great acclaim at international level. Challenged by cosmopolitan groups and new roles In 1961, Domingo made his operatic debut in a leading role as Alfredo in La Traviata at Monterrey. The performance of La Traviata included a baritone singing in Hungarian, a soprano in German, a tenor in Italian, and the chorus in Hebrew. Domingo credits this cosmopolitan group for improving his abilities in several languages. At the end of 1962, he signed a six month contract with the Israel National Opera in Tel Aviv but later extended the contract and stayed for two and a half years, singing in 280 performances and incorporating 12 different roles. Domingo has sung and continues to sing in every important Opera House in the world including the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Milan’s La Scala, the Vienna State Opera, London's Covent Garden, Paris' Bastille Opera, the San Francisco Opera, Chicago's Lyric Opera, the Washington National Opera, the Los Angeles Opera, the Teatro del Liceu in Barcelona, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, the Real in Madrid, and at the Bayreuth and Salzburg Festivals.

  • About the Exhibition Tenorissimo! Plácido Domingo in Vienna
    Tenorissimo! Plácido Domingo in Vienna May 17th, 2017 - January 8th, 2018 Lobkowitzplatz 2, 1010 Wien [email protected] T +43 1 525 24 5315 About the exhibition An unmistakable dark timbre, highly dramatic expressiveness, an impressive, vast repertoire – all this enraptures the fans of the Spanish crowd-pleaser with waves of enthusiasm. The Theatermuseum celebrates Plácido Domingo on the anniversary of his stage debut: He has been singing at the Vienna State Opera for 50 years. When the Tenor, then still considered as insider tip, made his debut at the State Opera in the title role of Verdi‘s Don Carlo, not only he took stage and cast in storm, but also the hearts of the Viennese audience – a true love relationship, unbroken till today. This performance contributed to an unparalleled career, taking him to the world‘s leading opera houses. Vienna has always been a very special “home port“ for the opera star. Here he performed 30 different roles in 300 shows and was awarded the title Austrian Kammersänger. The exhibition at the Theatermuseum documents the most important appearances of the “Tenorissimo“ in Vienna with original costumes and props, photographs and memorabilia, video and audio samples. The presentation portrays him also as baritone, the role fach on which he concentrated almost exclusively in the past 10 years, and refers to his activities as conductor, taking him regularly to the orchestra pit of the Vienna State Opera since the end of the 1970s. Without hesitation Plácido Domingo can be described as one of the most versatile, curious and longest serving representative of his musical genre.

    La mezzosoprano española Nancy Fabiola Herrera vuelve a Nueva York con la ópera "Rigoletto" La mezzosoprano española Nancy Fabiola Herrera vuelve a Nueva York con la ópera "Rigoletto" Por Agencia EFE – Hace 1 día Nueva York, 26 abr (EFE).- La mezzosoprano española Nancy Fabiola Herrera regresa hoy con la ópera "Rigoletto" a la Opera Metropolitana de Nueva York, el escenario en el que su interpretación de "Carmen" dio un gran impulso a su carrera. "Es una satisfacción muy grande volver al Metropolitan, uno de mis teatros favoritos", dijo en una entrevista con Efe la cantante, que se subirá al escenario neoyorquino hasta el 30 de abril y 3, 6 y 12 de mayo para interpretar el papel de Maddalena en la ópera de Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). "Maddalena es un personaje que se parece un poco a Carmen, ambas son mujeres que aprenden a moverse en un mundo de hombres gracias a sus dotes de seducción", explicó Herrera, que confesó su inclinación a interpretar "a personajes femeninos fuertes con diferentes perfiles y con algo que decir". Herrera, cuya actuación como Carmen en la Opera de Nueva York en 2005 la llevó a los escenarios más importantes de América y Europa, en los que cautivó a crítica y público, hace en esta ocasión el papel de una joven que ayuda a su hermano, un asesino a sueldo, a seducir a sus víctimas. Sin embargo, Maddalena se encapricha de una de las personas a las que tienen que asesinar, e intenta a toda costa evitar su muerte. "Creo que es la única que se sale con la suya en la obra", explicó la cantante.

    Daniel Catán’s lyrical, romantic style lends itself particularly well to the human voice, which features in the majority of his works. Lush orchestra- tions reminiscent of Debussy and Strauss along with Latin American instruments and rhythms are regularly heard in his music. His opera Daniel Catán Florencia en el Amazonas has the dis- tinction of being the first opera in Spanish commissioned by a major American company. The success of this opera led to the commission of Il Postino Salsipuedes for Houston Grand Opera. His fourth opera, Il Postino, was commissioned by Los Angeles Opera and pre- miered in September 2010, featuring Plácido Domingo and Charles Castronovo. Born in Mexico, Catán studied philosophy at the University of Il Postino Sussex in England before enrolling in Princeton as a PhD stu- dent in composition. His music is published by Associated Music Publishers.
