Placido Domingo debut is cancelled by Valencia after tiles fall off the roof
mainThe former tenor was due to conduct Manon Lescaut next month, his baton debut in Valencia. But ongoing problems with the roof at Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía has forced the opera’s cancellation. Legal action is being taken against the architects of the daring new building.
Sorry – this would not have been Placido’s “baton début” in Valencia. He already conducted TOSCA and a concert version of El Cid at the opera house in April 2012.
