Plácido Domingo in Simon Boccanegra, Madrid, July 25, 2010, curtain call 1

Another huge success! Simon Boccanegra in Madrid's Teatro Real. Almost 30 minutes of standing ovation and Bravo-screams for the cast, but especially for Plácido Domingo. It seems that "Boccanegra" is becoming a signature role for him, almost like his legendary "Otello". He does not pretend to be a baritone, but his impersonating the role is so credible and moving that it is unique! A totally enthusiasted teenager took this clip. :-)
The cast: Plácido Domingo, Inva Mula (stepping in for Georghiu, who had suddenly become "indisposed" after a very weak and disappointing performance on the 22nd, for which she even got some booing), Marcello Giordano, Ferruccio Furlanetto, conductor: Jesus Lopez Cobos
