50 years of Placido Domingo in Salzburg 2024

At the finale of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival, opera star Placido Domingo was honored with a gala concert. The now 83-year-old performed at the Salzach Festival for the first time 50 years ago. His work and his long-standing commitment to young opera talent have now been celebrated.
Plácido Domingo received a standing ovation at a gala, but also bowed to the young talent. In an interview, the 83-year-old reveals how proud he is of the young musicians he has been able to support over the past decades.
“It was a phenomenal evening”
On Monday, Domingo was on stage together with Sonya Yoncheva, Elena Stikhina and Rolando Villazon - all winners of the “Operalia” young talent development award founded by Domingo. “It was fantastic - I enjoy being on stage with these people, some of them I haven't seen for a long time, others I've performed with several times - it was simply a phenomenal evening,” said Domingo in the ORF interview.

Bravo querido Maestro. Amigo Yoland, who is the young woman who brought out the first flowers to him? I heard the name "Cecilia Bartoli" by the announcer but she does not look like her. In any case, as always, big thanks for sharing this bit of news coverage of his gala, displaying his name on screen with the words "Opera Legend" -- which is absolutely correct. May he live another 83 years and may he sit down and write "My Second Forty Years" and soon. He's two years late and none of us are getting any younger! lol Paz y salud amigo. 24-05-22
