Who coined the phrase: "From Madrid to heaven", say that in the eighteenth century, no author should probably never could have imagined the day came when a guy born on the streets of Ibiza fulfill the slogan. Plácido Domingo embodies that spirit better than anyone. The celebrated 70 years on Friday surrounded by his age Friends, family, at the Theatre Royal have served throughout the week that was put into proper perspective legend.
more than 10 years ago, when he was around 60 and it seemed to have done everything, journalists, moronic, and asked them about their retreat. It was the logical if we look to understand the physical limits of any human being. But is that Placido is not any human being. Over the years we have understood that not only useless but also an unforgivable lack of respect, inexcusable blindness insist, as some still do. Not only many of those who demanded it be withdrawn before the period Plácido scenarios, but the best will be crossing their fingers and ask the sky, the sky of Madrid, to hold, to continue to give us these fascinating lessons of heterodoxy. Because
see the end of his career to get into baritone is above all a holy show of risk and breaking molds only possible in an artist of their dimensions. How will sing Plácido Simon Boccanerga, how it will play Rigoletto? And why not? Do what he wants and the keepers of the essences that give them.
Kraus, with its rigor, elegance, with its delicacy; Plácido with his gall, with his iron will, his wonderful perseverance, such that a mature age, as he calls it elegant, resisting with good reason to call it old age did hear the messages in your voice and your body and find solutions to continue standing on the stage.
not matter if the price he had to pay was as challenging as getting to learn roles in Russian operas rescue buried in trunks and adapt her voice to an outside frame of mind has done its own term. Anything to continue to delight in the scene at this point. There will occupy its space every heartbeat, has already said.
While this sad time comes, the later the better, every time we go to see it, we must be aware of listening to the last representative of a massive star system, a whole way of understanding art in a way to do, to love, to meet this total entertainment called opera and elevate to the legend.
