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. -

Musical Women and Identity-Building in Early Independent Mexico (1821-1854)
Musical Women and Identity-Building in Early Independent Mexico (1821-1854) Yael Bitrán Goren Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Music Department, Royal Holloway, University of London 2012 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Yael Bitrán Goren, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: 13 April 2012 Abstract This thesis investigates music in Mexico City, with an emphasis on women's relationship to Romanticism, education, consumption, domestic music-making and public performance. During the first decades after independence in 1821, Mexicans began the process of constructing an identity, which musically speaking meant an expansion of the secular musical world. Such construction involved the development of internal activity alongside a conditional receptivity to external influence in the form of the visits of Italian opera companies such as those of Manuel García and Max Maretzek, and travelling virtuosi such as pianist virtuoso Henri Herz, who brought new repertoire and performance practices to Mexican theatres and homes. As consumers and as musicians, women were at the centre of such developments. In Mexico, both European music and that of local musicians was disseminated by means of ladies’ journals and imported and locally-printed sheet music by foreign and Mexican composers, in order to supply a growing home market for amateurs. Abundant surviving repertoire for the home, the widespread availability of musical instruction as revealed through advertisements, and witness accounts of soirées and concerts in the theatre reveal a budding musical world that has hitherto been overlooked and which occurred during a period generally deemed of little importance in Mexican musical history. -

Llena de famosas arias y melodías, describe la vida de los jóvenes bohemios del París de 1830, centrándose en el romance entre el poeta Rodolfo y la costurera Mími, aquejada por una mortal enfermedad. La bohème fue la inspiración para el conocido musical Rent. Ailyn Pérez, una soprano mexicano-americana ganadora del premio Richard Tucker del 2012, aportará al papel de Mimi una voz que la agencia de noticias Associated Press llamó "límpida y dulce”.

Sound Investment A Report from DePaul University School of Music,12 2011–12 letter from the dean Contents september, 2012 Dear Friends, It was one hundred years ago this month and on a site just three blocks away from the School’s current home that the DePaul University School of Music opened its doors for the first time and began the noble mission of educating promising young musicians—the mission that continues to fully engage our 135 faculty and staff every single day. Of course, the School of Music is profoundly elevated now from those very humble beginnings. Still, we expect to spend a part of this year looking Donald E. Casey back and reflecting upon the path that has Dean of the School of Music Of Note: 2011-2012 Highlights 4-5 brought us to where we find ourselves today. An extensive set of events and celebrations to mark this centennial milestone begins this Faculty News 6-9 fall, and these events and celebrations will individually and collectively mark this year in New Faculty Members ways that will no doubt prove especially memorable. We hope you make plans to celebrate Faculty and Staff Activities along with us. Community Music Division Many of the events will be concerts, and some will feature the music that was being newly Master Classes formed in 1912-1913—the year of our genesis; others will feature music that is freshly composed expressly to note the centennial of the School. Among these is a set of piano preludes Student News 10-11 by 15 current and past DePaul composers, each of less than three minutes duration and each Student Scholar Spotlight beginning and concluding with a concert “D” sounding; the School will publish these preludes on our website and any and all will be able to be downloaded without charge. -
