  • 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.

How often have you heard a piece of music you didn’t know and wondered why it hadn’t been recorded before? Well, Toccata Classics aims to bring this kind of neglected treasure to the public waiting for the chance to hear it – from the major musical centres and from less-well-known cultures in northern and eastern Europe, from all the Americas, and from further afield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, Toccata Classics is exploring it. To link label and listener directly we run the Toccata Discovery Club, which brings its members substantial discounts on all Toccata Classics recordings, whether CDs or downloads, and also on the range of pioneering books on music published by its sister company, Toccata Press.

  • 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.

  • Ten Chudy Schlechter
    Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne Seria Literacka 22 (42) Joanna Maleszyńska Ten chudy Schlechter Czołówka przedwojennego polskiego filmu Co mój mąż robi w nocy jest niezwykła: nie tworzą jej banalne napisy, za to na tle kotary – jak na kabaretowej, jeszcze nieodsłoniętej scenie – poja- wia się konferansjer i zapowiada autorów filmu. A ponieważ kon- feransjerem tym jest legendarny Fryderyk Járosy, nie wymienia po prostu nazwisk i profesji, ale do nazwiska każdego z przedsta- wionych artystów dodaje, niby dla odróżnienia, formułkę o jego tuszy, zapewne zmyśloną. Oto próbka: Proszę państwa, mam zaszczyt zaprezentować film: – reżyser: nasz niezrównany Michał Waszyński; no, ten gruby Wa- szyński, pan go zna; – scenariusz: Anatol Stern, ten gruby Stern; […] – muzyka: Jerzy Petersburski – ten mały, gruby Petersburski! – teksty dialogów i piosenek: Emanuel Schlechter; to jest ten chudy Schlechter, ten gruby to jest jego kuzyn. Fryderyk Járosy, adoptowany w Polsce światowiec pocho- dzenia – dosłownie! – austro-węgierskiego1 prowadzi pełną wdzięku rozmowę z niewidoczną publicznością, docinając swo- im kolegom ze sceny i kabaretu. Schlechtera oszczędza, i mimo że to tylko scenka komediowa, przekazuje w niej prawdziwą in- formację. Emanuel Schlechter2 rzeczywiście był szczupły, choć 1 Urodził się w roku 1890 jako syn Węgra i Austriaczki, młodość spędził w Austrii, Rosji i Francji; w 1924 r. trafił do Warszawy z teatrzykiem rosyjskich „białych” emigrantów „Niebieski Ptak” – zob. S. Grodzieńska, Urodził go „Nie- bieski Ptak”, Warszawa 2002. 2 Używam niemieckiej pisowni nazwiska jako pierwotnej, powszechniejszej i lepiej utrwalonej w nielicznych źródłach dotyczących pisarza (zob. „Rocznik Lwowski” 1999 czy Polski słownik biograficzny 2012).
