Domingo faces Berlin pickets and ovations

The matter had been raised earlier in the day at the Berlin Senate, where Culture Senator Klaus Lederer pledged to ‘exchange views’ with the State Opera director in due course.
Inside, there were ovations, albeit nothing like the recent eruptions at Salzburg and Milan.
