Many thanks for posting this video Ursey! Could you please add the "La donna e mobile" aria as well as the famous quartet: "Bella figlia dell'amore", since "Questo o quella" and the Act 2 love duetto from this production are already available on Youtube. Cheers in advance!

Hi Jocelyn, La Donna e mobile posted as requested. I will post the quartet tomorrow. Enjoy!

[Arbus2]

Fantástico Plácido como siempre, impresionante la fuerza dramática y todo su lirismo que se conjugan para darle a éste rol un tinte casi inusitado. Bravisimo!!

Please URSEY39, can you post the cabaletta "La donna è mobile" from this presentation at the Met?

[ursey39]

As requested Arbus2 La Donna e mobile is posted!

You are a cretin with no clue about singing.

[jbrown91287]

Bicker and argue all you want, but is doesn't change the fact that not a single one of you has successfully put 130+ roles on your resume, and not only still singing at the age of 60+, but singing none-the-less Wagner.

All of you need to get off your high horse, sit back, enjoy art, respect the artist... oh yeah, don't forget that not a single one of you have had remotely close to his success.

Lo bueno de placido, que hace de director, del Mantova, y hasta de Rigoletto....jajaja.. todo con lo justo...un DIREC BARI TENOR (regular, a mi gusto...)

[fra1979it]

in questa tessitura è inadeguato.

qui si deve andare su kraus e .... sul più grande SCHIPA.

mi dispiace ma la performance è terribile!

Che bei ricordi.....La Scala e lui

tenore?

How I wish I could have seen Domingo in an opera live

[onotuoedaul]

Ele era tão bonito............... hehehe

[Lovelytenor1]

The role was generally too high for him but this aria, one which many tenors consider more difficult than the other two, he sings wonderfully well. Its sits right in his range & is beautifully done.

@ck80801 I'm surprised more singers don't take the cadenza. and MILK it for all it's worth.

haha

[enricodicapri]

La gfran dificultad del si b qu se suele hacer por tradición al final de este aria estriba en cómo se ha llegado a lafrase "le sfere a gli angeli, per te, per te.. le sfere a gli an(aquí iría el si b)ge li..." y a mi parecer Placido canta esta frase con gran comodidad. el salto del fa al sib no debería haber sido un problema. e spor eso que creo mas que fue una decisión artística que una busqueda de "facilitar" el aria.

[MrAngeltoledano]

@enricodicapri y he cantado este aria más veces seguramente que el sr Domingo mismo y te digo que ese sib es el más difícil de la historia de la ópera y mas para una voz de lirico spinto como la de Placido.
