Ask Domingo,

Protégées of Opera Mafia. Little decency and they know rot, their natural home, when they see it.
Uncle Alfonse: ‘Show some respect, or else. By the way, there’s no mafia.’
I asked Domingo and he said, “Пойдем, Брэндон”
Translated into English: “Let’s go Brandon” 🙂
Except Domingo has never sung for Putin since the former invaded Ukraine. A slight difference.
Vergogna.
He has been singing in Russia for quite a few times, last time in October:

Simply disgraceful… In a world that has sanctioned Putin’s Russia on all levels, culturally we can say that some people don’t have any kind of morals.
Another example, singing all over the world including at the Vienna State Opera, Spain, Germany, Italy etc and regularly in Russia, is Russian tenor Dmitry Korchak. Both he and Grigolo are working with degrading Ariosi
There are probably people still singing in Tel Aviv to this very day.
I hope and help that the Hamas terrorists might free the hostages
Do you really believe that Europe robs Russia culturally by sanctions? Come on, the days when Europe exported culture are long gone. Italian neo-realism and singers like Milva; French noir and black comedy; British rock; the great British writers, like George Orwell, James Aldridge, Alan Silitoe and the rest of them; everything that flew over the Iron Curtain to please us back in the Soviet days is long gone. What are the latest European cultural exports? Harry Potter? Tunba Gretberg? Banksy? Or maybe Conchita Wurst? Give me a break. European culture is a rotten corpse and has nothing to offer the world.
Grigolo has already destroyed his career once. To sing in Putin-Russia definitely not promote his career.
Grigolo has destroyed his voice by singing unsuitable repertoire.
He should have stuck with Nemorino, not try Cavaradossi.
Russia is quickly becoming a save haven for voiceless has beens. The star attraction there is very strong. People will buy tickets
to be in the same room with a “Great Italian tenor”
Never heard of him.
Grigolo qua, Grigolo la, Grigolo qua, Grigolo la, Grigolo su, Grigolo giu, Grigolo su, Grigolo, giu
Ah, bravo Grigolo! Bravo, bravissimo!
We haven’t seen much of Mr.Netrebko of late.
Next stop….North Korea.
I’m sure if it was permitted for foreigners to take money out of North Korea–and the price was right–they would be lined up.
Like Donald Trump who our sophisticated friends in American might elect again
That’s democracy
go ———————–vittorio and sing love songs anywhere in the world instead of hatred revenge and bombs
