Hopefully no one was between him and the floor.
That’s because the floor can’t so no. Guess he’s being less picky about where he puts his lips…
This is the traditional gesture of farewell to a beloved theatre when a singer with a long history there retires, or does not expect to return. Does he have any further engagements there?
Nuts. Time he retired.
I hope it was with the consent of the floor.
A floor can’t legally consent. It’s sexual assault!
It must make a nice change from the unwilling girls!!
I would have been “willing”
I met him once live in Bozar Brussels.
Charming artist
And the public is happy he is there and offers them a fantastic concert!
US-Americans comments focused only on the accusations on PD’s (supposed) past behaviour and saying nothing about one of the greatest performers 9f the 20th/21st century in 3, 2, 1…
After all what’s a bit of groping if it is dished out by a noted celebrity.
No legal action taken, no trial, no sentenced. Isn’t PD innocent until proven guilty?
At last a voice of reason! So easy but so sad to destroy a brilliant career.
WAS. Domingo is a past tense.
Domingo is an opera zombie. His body has rotted away but he keeps showing up.
US-Americans actually don’t love opera. They respect false corrupted metoo community only..
So glad this shameful feminazi community (metoo) doesn’t have power in Europe and we can enjoy one of the greatest opera singer of all times.
Unhappily Europe too has his stupid metoo community
“Unhappily Europe too has his stupid metoo community”
You’re just “unhappily” that your generation didn’t have the guts one hundred years ago (according to the pictures).
Only those who have as little a sense of taste and quality as you apparently do.

I guess every gesture Domingo makes, no matter how sincere is going to be met with hate and scorn. This reflects more on the commenters than on him. The Maestro triumphed on this stage many times, this gesture is lovely and entirely appropriate. I wish him well and so does his public who gave him this great ovation.
Nasty comments. The concert was good, audience happy.
It is the public to decide.
They’ll clap for anything, stand for anyone – it’s all part of the audience “experience” today.
As long as he sticks to recital concerts I don’t see any problem with him sticking to the stage, pun intended. Concerts are for fans. They are entitled to nostalgia, and he is entitled to their money, win-win. He won’t be in anyone’s way in a concert. He has my blessing for his drag act as a baritone, as long as he confines himself to recitals. Singing in opera performances is a different proposition, I don’t care for him to spoil performances when he should have retired fifteen years ago.
“I don’t care for him to spoil productions when he should have retired fifteen years ago.” There. Fixed that for you 😉
Nice try The PRODUCTIONS are already spoiled by the stage directions. As mystifying as it may look to you, I meant indeed PERFORMANCES.
