Plácido Domingo Part 3
1990s present
Love the Statue!

Throughout the1990s and 2000s until today, Domingo continued performing, singing many of the same roles but adding new roles as well, among them the title roles in Wagner's Parsifal and Mozart's Idomeneo, Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia as Figaro, Wagner's Die Walküre as Siegmund, Lehár's The Merry Widow as Danilo and Alfano's Cyrano de Bergerac as Cyrano. From the middle 1990s to early in 2008 alone, he added 38 new roles to his repertoire, covering opera in six different languages (English, Italian, French, German, Russian and Spanish). The latest was the Italian opera by George Frideric Handel, Tamerlano.

Giving him even greater international recognition outside of the world of opera, he participated in The Three Tenors concert at the opening of the 1990 World Cup in Rome with José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti. The event was originally conceived to raise money for the José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation and was later repeated a number of times, including at the three subsequent World Cup finals (1994 in Los Angeles, 1998 in Paris, and 2002 in Yokohama). Alone, Domingo again made an appearance at the final of the 2006 World Cup in Berlin, along with rising stars Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazón. On 24 August 2008, Domingo performed a duet with Song Zuying, singing Ài de Huǒyàn (The Flame of Love) at the 2008 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in Beijing.[9][10][11]

In what has been called his 'final career move', Plácido Domingo announced on 25 January 2007 that in 2009 he would take on one of Verdi's most demanding baritone roles, singing the title role in Simon Boccanegra. The debut performance was at Berlin State Opera on October 24, followed by other 29 performances during 2009/2010 at major opera houses around the world. [12] He would, however, continue to sing tenor roles beforehand and afterwards.

On 1617 April 2008 he sang during the visit of Pope Benedict XVI at Nationals Park and at the Italian embassy in Washington D.C. Since 1990 Plácido Domingo has received many awards and honors for his achievement in the field of music and in recognition of his many benefit concerts and contributions to various charities.

On 15 March 2009, The Metropolitan Opera paid tribute to Domingo's 40th anniversary with the company with an on-stage gala dinner at the Met's 125th anniversary, commemorating his debut in Adriana Lecouvreur as Maurizio opposite Renata Tebaldi on 28 September 1968[13]

On 29 August 2009 he sang Panis Angelicus at the funeral mass of Senator Ted Kennedy in the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Boston, Massachusetts.[14]

Hello! thank you for this great post. could you please tell me which version is this? orchestra, conductor...is this the studio version with Solti?

[operbathosa]

@Dondinin I do not know.

[muatlas]

Domingo, a lyric tenor? Yes. A dramatic tenor? Absolutely. A Heldentenor? Who would have thought? Beautiful and heroic.

[SFT24]

Very well done, except perhaps that his German diction leaves something to be desired. Still, what a voice!

Placido. Simply great as ever.

[lamepiemujer]

Placido Domingo's Lohengrin is..simply..sublime and beyond words. One of the best and most versatile tenors of this century and, at the same time, a very accesible man, always a smile, always a kind word, always the gentleman!!. May you recover soon great Maestro!!!

[MastersoftheOpera]

Domingo's Lohengrin was very successful .He performed it many times in the 1980's. It was his first major foray into Wagner territory. Then followed Parsifal (which he performed@ the Met, Flying Dutchman, Tristan & Siegfried; roles he has been able to perform even now in his 60's ! This is a remarkably versatile tenor whose career has been glorious ranging from Verdi, Donizetti, Puccini, Bellini, Bizet, Gounod, Tchaikovsky, Spanish Zarzuela, Broadway & just about everything else it seems.

[77Opera]

Absolument magnifique!
