Either way, Domingo didn’t have any choice but to cancel as he wouldn’t get an audience. I think Norman was using the word ‘homecoming’ in a figurative and broader sense, as we tend to in England … we all know Domingo doesn’t come from Cuba.
What is the definition or meaning of the word ‘homecoming’ in a figurative and broader sense, then?
