Domingo drops a role
mainThe singer with the most roles in the history of opera has dropped one from his baritone register. Placido Domingo has pulled out of Il Trovatore in Berlin, La Scala and this summer’s Salzburg Festival, saying he can’t manage Count Luna again.
Salzburg has replaced him with Artur Ruciński, who stood in for Domingo last summer.
he is such a great artist so let’s hope he will drop the others also as he simply is no baritone – well done
I’d say he drop from the scene altogether. The man has overstayed his welcome by about two decades if not longer.
Domingo would do well to learn from Heifetz who retired at his peak. It’s always been sad seeing the likes of Domingo, Fisher-Dieskau, Menuhin going on and on and on..
Placido Domingo has had a wonderful career. He should retire now and be remembered as a great singer, rather than carry on until his voice is a mere shadow of what it was in its prime.
