Placido Domingo ‘dreams’ of working again with old pal Dudamel

In a carefully worded interview with Agence France Presse, with some of his answers submitted in writing, the singer expressed his desire to return to normal relations with the media.

Domingo, 80, is also hopeful that Gustavo Dudamel’s appointment at the Opéra de Paris will enable him to sing there again:

He “dreams” of coming back to sing at the Palais Garnier, “especially with the arrival of Gustavo Dudamel”, the new musical director of the Paris Opera with whom he worked in Los Angeles, and claims to be in contact with Alexander Neef, the boss of the Opera.

He continues to receive offers to sing in “theaters around the world, including the United States.” “But it will not be me who would like to put in difficulty the theaters in which I worked all my life”.
