Plácido Domingo Celebration

A celebration of Plácido Domingo, one of the greatest dramatic voices of our time, with acts from three Verdi operas that have special significance in Domingo's career. In the title roles of Rigoletto, Simon Boccanegra and Otello, Domingo portrays three intense characters driven to extreme actions – in turn doomed, heroic and jealous beyond reason. The baritone roles of the first two are recent additions to his wide repertory, while the concluding role of Otello has become one of his most legendary portrayals. Antonio Pappano conducts.
