The 81-year-old attraction is planning a concert with the Jerusalem Symphony in October.

He started his career almost 60 years ago with the Israel Opera in Tel Aviv.

Tickets to his concert start at US$81.

It’s not a charity event.

    Domingo indeed started his career sixty years ago at the Tel Aviv opera house established by Edis de Phillipe https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/de-philippe-edis
    He was poorly paid and my grandfather Menachem Friedman and my great grandmother Minna Friedman who owned a small kiosk selling international magazines (a rarity at the time) on Allenby street nearby the opera,used to give him free newspapers and lunch money (that’s at least my childhood recollection). I wish him well.

    Oh, joy.

  • Save the MET says:

    Those that go are providing charity towards Domingo to buy a ticket to hear that off pitch wobble. To rephrase his line, “He should rest, as he has rusted.”

  • Madeleine Richardson says:

    Many of his concerts are sold out well in advance which is more than can be said for productions at the Met or even the Vienna State nowadays.

    • Tom Phillips says:

      Only proving that there are many delusional cult-members among classical music(especially operatic) audiences who can’t get over their childhood memories (same with Levine).
