Placido Domingo - Iphigenie en Tauride - Dec 2007

[66jjma]

Domingo chante Oreste qui est un role pour baryton et je dois dire que meme si a mon avis on a du retoucher à la partition il est plus que convaincant et putain! quelle voix!! Mais qui chantait Pylade (qui est un role pour ténor)?

Cant wait to hear this during the Met HD series

btw, it's a classicism opera, not baroque.

Thank you for this clip. I saw this production when I want to the New Production Gala in November. Domingo is absolutely FANTASTIC, as always. And I was very impressed by Susan Graham. Unfortunately, I had to sit through it with a couple of opera haters sitting next to me.

This wery good and on the other hand wery, wery strange - Orestes is a high bariton/dramatic bariton part...funny that Placido Domingo sings Orest and not Pylades.But still, this is wery good singing and if i may, a wery nice christmas present.Thank you for posting it.

[gabohuaroc]

Yeah, Pylades isn't too high.

@bariton9 Actually, Gluck himself revised/adapted that role for tenor. I believe this role would fit Domingo perfectly either way, though.

[bariton9]

@ib4colts2 It´s true - Gluck revised the part of Orestes, but it still funny, because apart all the revisions and adaptations, the Orestes is still seen and cast as a dramatic baritone/ bass baritone. But Domingo is still GREAT! No doubt about it.
