Overlooking countless accusations of acts of infidelity alone makes her a candidate for sainthood.
As florid and prosperous as Placido’s marriage can be, and we are certain it is, and we have no reason to doubt it. It surely isn’t as thriving as the union of his comrade in arms Muti, who has set the absolute gold standard for marriages in classical music, perhaps rivaled only by Pavarotti.
Placido cannot rely on angels visiting him and giving him marriage counseling, like Muti on Cherubini’s tours, and cannot count on the support of an entire institution devoted to his wife as much as to the Maestro himself, like the CSO and their president, Jeff Alexander, a sincere paladin of the Maestro’s wife. In spite of weather and distance, Muti’s marriage blooms in Chicago like an exotic flower in a rain forest, at the sound of a sweet bolero … 😀
Congratulations Senor Domingo, even a silver medal in this field is a massive achievement, when the gold goes to the Maestro of true-hearted husbands!
How long has Muti lived rent free in your head?
Pavarotti?!
She’s far from a saint. She has always been abusive to young female singers.
Or foolhood?
Accusations! One person’s view infidelity is another persons sign of a affection, particularly if from
a Latin background. Wish Placido many more happy years of marriage.
Codependency rather than God made for 60 years of cohabitation.
I sure most people married for 60 year are not dependent on each other, it just looks that way.
Amazing how anonymous people on the internet think they have the right to judge the reality of another person’s marriage.
Love or hate Domingo as you wish. However, the validity of the love within his marriage is between him and Marta alone.
But, you know, gotta make sure you mock other people’s lives to make you feel better about your own existence, I guess… (not a good look)
“is between him and Marta alone”
Not quite “alone”, since Domingo was the one who brought God into the conversation.
We have every right to react to the gratuitous invocation of the Almighty, thou shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain, especially when adultery is a mortal sin.
He has done very well. I know of marriages
That have lasted 6 months. I wonder who gets
Custody of the wedding cake.
One of the biggest hound dogs at the Met was the word.No real reason to dispute all the women who are believable imo when one understands the ego, arrogance and self importance of an artist of that level who is above it all in his mindset! Must be an excellent actor ,came across as “molto simpatico ” on many occasions when truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing! To me his arrogance and self centered nature comes through with him singing the last 20 years WELL BEYOND his prime.
I’m a women and I hardly believe those accusations…always respected Mr.Dominguez for his voice and talent.
“Cuando El rio suena…”! Too many victims came forward!! And we are talking about serious women!!
Thank goodness for anonymous nobodies who can always be relied on for their profound insights into other people’s relationships.
The fact that they actually know sweet F.A. never seems to blunt their confidence.
I am flabbergasted how righteous these critics can be. They ‘must be perfect’
To Domingo & wife Marta, CONGRATULATIONS on this momentous milestone❣️
Pretty ironic now that we have him on tape ordering up human sex trafficking victims for his use at hotels, directly from a notorious criminal organization. Domingo is a sleazeball and should be in jail.
