Transcripción
00:00Placido Domingo
00:30He was very, very young. Everybody knew about somebody called Placido Domingo, who was the leading tenor of his generation, of course.
00:42He was just the most warm and incredible person. He was sort of like a big huggy thing, you know, loved to sort of hug people.
00:49I've often said I think there should be a scientific study done in Placido Domingo as a man, as a human being, because he's a multi-talented and multifaceted individual.

01:52Placido Domingo is acclaimed as the world's most complete opera singer,
01:59his incredible voice matched by his dramatic talents and heroic stance on stage.
02:04He has been at the top for more than 30 years
02:07and has shown his versatility in more than 100 of opera's leading roles,
02:11from the lyrical romance of Verdi to the epic drama of Wagner.
02:15I am about to arrive to my 3,000 performance.
02:25So I'm very proud of being able to be on the stage still at 60
02:31and, you know, being able to still probably be around another, for a few years more singing.
02:45Placido is a complete tenor, he's a great musician, a great actor,
03:04he's very flexible in any sense, vocally and staging,
03:10and so what can be that, if not very special.
03:34He's probably the most convincing performer I've ever seen in my life on stage.
03:39Not only his extraordinary voice, but the way he acts
03:44and the way his musicianship and his tremendous expression.
03:52This kind of links that he established between stage and audience, he's great.
04:10One of the most important elements in music success was very much loved by the audience, by the women.
04:29They're showing him a kind of ideally handsome hero.
04:47But he's a handsome man, and, you know, the women, during the performance and after the performance, you know,
04:57you couldn't get anywhere near him for women. I mean, I don't blame them.
05:00And it's wonderful, he's a hero, it's a heroic voice.
05:03It's a beautiful sound and, you know, you fall in love with it immediately.
05:06He's a hero, and, you know what?
05:16La gloria a mi nombra si viene, e un santo de mi giaccio.
05:29La gloria a mi nombra si viene, e un santo de mi giaccio.
05:59En el escenario tiene que mirar a los intereses, pero en ciertas roles son muy muy atractivos, muy sexy.
06:29Domingo
06:57Creo que lo que hace Domingo especial en la historia de la operación
07:02es no solo la voz, que, de nuevo, puede ser o no, como todo el otro,
07:07sino que es el momento de cambiar, de mover la arte clásica
07:16de la escena, de la teatro, de los películas, de los espectáculos abiertos.
07:27No me gusta usar clichés, pero él tiene una magia especial.
07:45Yo diría que cuando estoy trabajando con los tres tenores, Pavarotti tiene un poder increíble.
07:54Carreras es velvete.
07:59Es muy smooth.
08:03Y Placido tiene la mejor de ambos mundos.
08:08Entre nosotros ha sido siempre, y siempre será, una especie de competencia de cantar.
08:26Y creo que esto es muy positivo para el resultado de cada concerto.
08:31¡Cantar!
08:32¡Cantar!
08:33¡Cantar!

09:06There is a real friendship relation between us and a tremendous harmony.
09:13And I think that this creates a kind of chemistry that is, in my opinion, the key of our being together on stage.
09:22The three tenors have been enjoyed by millions of people,
09:26but Domingo, Carreras and Pavarotti have been criticized by the opera establishment
09:31for going perhaps a little too far down market.
09:36I think Plastodoro, like the many other singers, and certainly the three tenors,
09:43have perhaps gone too far in trying to popularize themselves and the things they sing.
09:51Now, I'm greatly in favor of reaching out to the public,
09:54but I think there's a limit to what you actually do in that direction.
09:58He gathers people by the hundreds.
10:09They just flock to him.
10:11And so that is of great use to opera houses and for sponsorship and things like that.
10:16And to pull in the people who wouldn't normally come in.
10:19There are people, women, men, who would never normally go to opera.
10:22But he can absolutely charm them, and they're taken in.
10:26And it's wonderful, because we get a lovely new audience, constantly.
10:31I have had many letters which I can show how people say it.
10:35Before I hear you in this popular concert, during the three tenors concert,
10:39I will never dream to go to the opera.
10:40And now, I go and I am a full-time subscriber.
10:44Domingo has done more to popularize opera than any artist of his generation.
11:11Yet, with his singing career inevitably drawing to a close,
11:15many of his fans fear that soon he will be lost to the world of opera.
11:21But Domingo has long dreamt of running an opera company.
11:25His chance came in 1995,
11:27when the Washington Opera asked him to become their artistic director.
11:30I think he thought that by 1990 or so, he would have stopped singing.
11:38And I think he himself is amazed
11:41that he's still singing ten years later than he thought he was going to be.
11:45And I think he was concerned that,
11:48since usually the life of a singer is a relatively short one,
11:53what was he going to do with all this energy when he'd stop singing?
11:56But he had this passion for working in an opera company.
12:14So, that was clearly something that had always been on the cards for him.
12:18In the past, it has been quite common
12:26for an eminent singer to become an artistic director of a house.
12:32You don't actually settle down, I think, and ask the question,
12:35well, you know,
12:36what other sort of qualifications has he got beyond the obvious ones?
12:40But I think the obvious ones are so strong
12:43that when the opportunity comes,
12:47both for him and for somebody looking for an artistic director,
12:50you both jump to each other and say, come along.
12:53Washington, D.C., it may not be a great opera centre,
12:58although the opera company there has grown considerably in recent years,
13:01and I've seen some very good performances there.
13:03It is one of the better of the not very top American opera companies.
13:07It also happens to be the national capital.
13:13It does no harm if the president or senators or ambassadors
13:17are seen going there.
13:19It's a place to be seen, to be going to.
13:22And from that point of view,
13:24I suppose he sensed that it was not a bad place
13:27in which to, as it were, cut his teeth as artistic director.
13:30Domingo has followed in the musical footsteps of his parents.
13:58Both were stars of the Zarzuela,
14:01Spain's own traditional form of comic and romantic light opera.
14:05In the late 1940s,
14:07the Domingo family emigrated from Spain to Mexico City,
14:10where they established their own opera company
14:12devoted entirely to the performance of Zarzuelas.
14:15And I always, not only like the music,
14:29but I like the fact of organizing, casting, and so on.
14:35So I think it was kind of a whole life idea
14:41about if one day, maybe after I end my career singing,
14:46I will be an artistic director of an opera house.
14:51Can we establish something?
14:53I mean, I don't know how much catering we can get.
14:56It will be better maybe to do it between the rehearsals.
15:01They will not allow us to serve food.
15:03In any rooms in the Kennedy Center.
15:06Everybody is.
15:07I mean, it's a large.
15:07There must be 175.
15:09I knew he wanted to do something like this.
15:13And several other people, friends of his,
15:16also had the instinct that this was the time.
15:18So my job was to sound him out and get it moving.
15:25Well, that's not, you know how,
15:26you all have seen how he moves.
15:29Tracking him down was what took time.
15:32You know, I sing in Bayreuth.
15:33I sing in Salzburg.
15:35I sing at the Met.
15:36I sing in Washington.
15:37I sing in Los Angeles.
15:38I sing in Vienna.
15:40I sing in Covert Garden.
15:41I sing in La Scala.
15:43I'm singing in every opera house.
15:45It took six months to just focus on it and get him to.
15:50But he was, once I told him what they wanted to propose,
15:56he did give it a lot of serious thought.
15:58When this approach was made, because, of course,
16:01in my conversations and in my interviews and so on,
16:04I was talking about the idea one day.
16:06So when all this came across, I was already thinking
16:12that maybe I was not going to be singing anymore,
16:15so that that was a right age for me to do it.
16:19Hey, Susie.
16:20How are you?
16:21Thank you.
16:24There were a lot of people who thought
16:25he was going to come to Washington
16:28and be very, very hands-off,
16:30and that has not been the case.
16:32He's been very much an active director.
16:34His programming is not orthodox.
16:37I mean, he has all the wonderful ones
16:39like the Il Trovatores and the Bohems and the Toscas,
16:41but he's had a little courage
16:44to bring something like Il Guarani,
16:46which was a Brazilian national opera,
16:49but nobody here has ever heard it.
16:50I think that Domingo has been
17:04a pretty fair success here,
17:20but maybe only a middling success
17:25as an artistic director.
17:28Perhaps there are some of the modern operas he did
17:30which were not so terribly strong.
17:40People said, well, why is he doing that?
17:42You know, but he wants to broaden our horizons.
17:46What you want is then, of course,
17:47if you are going to be there,
17:49that that company can improve
17:50under the time you are going to be there.
17:53That otherwise is not any reason
17:54for you to accept a position
17:56just to keep it even, you know?
17:58I mean, and I think it's not only to keep it,
18:02to bring it up and to bring it really
18:05to an international,
18:07great international level.
18:08He knows the business in every aspect,
18:21and this is very important.
18:23You can rely on his opinion,
18:26and you know that when Placido gives you an opinion,
18:28he's an honest one,
18:30and you know that he's for the best
18:33of the whole product,
18:36if I can use this word.
18:37We're just going to take one more point.
18:38I prefer myself, if you don't mind,
18:41I prefer, I prefer,
18:44if it goes this way.
18:46I like that.
18:47I prefer it this way.
18:48I like that.
18:49This side.
18:49This side.
18:50Okay, will you give me one bit
18:51to move through this light over here?
18:52Yes, I like this too.
18:53This is better.
18:54He once said to me,
18:56when somebody was complaining
18:57about being unable to reach him,
18:58he said, do tell him
18:59I'm not one of those tenors
19:01who sits by the phone
19:02and waiting for it to ring.
19:04He has this extraordinary sense of adventure.
19:07We all at school have known,
19:09and at university have known,
19:11people who are overachievers,
19:13who are compulsive workers
19:15and cannot stop.
19:17I mean, with Placido,
19:19you have that writ large,
19:20and of course,
19:21one of the most difficult components
19:25of that is travelling.
19:27He can't stop travelling.
19:32This is 105.1 FM KMCT,
19:39Classical K-Mozart.
19:40Rich Camparella with you
19:41on this Tuesday morning.
19:42On the freeways,
19:43we've got no signal alerts
19:44working at the moment,
19:45just the usual pockets of slowing,
19:47and Southern California weather,
19:48more of the same,
19:49highs ranging from the 70s
19:50along the shore
19:51to the low and mid-90s
19:52in the warmest inland valleys.
19:54And here's a reminder,
19:55we'll be broadcasting live from UCLA.
19:57Domingo's most recent challenge
19:59has been his appointment
20:00as Artistic Director
20:01of Los Angeles Opera.
20:06September saw his first opening night.
20:10Ladies and gentlemen,
20:12it appears that the audience
20:13seems to be like...
20:14And already,
20:15there were huge expectations
20:16surrounding his new role.
20:18Absolutely.
20:19Placido's image
20:22and also his ability
20:25to raise money,
20:26I mean,
20:26the amount of money
20:27that has come
20:28since Placido was appointed,
20:29I envy.
20:31Thank you.
20:31Thank you.
20:37Thank you.
20:38Thank you.
20:40Looks divine.
20:41You know,
20:41you have done a phenomenal job.
20:43Tell me the money.
20:44Thank you very much.
20:49Thank you.
20:49Very good.
20:52Gracias.
20:53Are we all in the picture?
20:54Thank you.
21:00In Los Angeles,
21:02it's not just enough
21:03to have the quality.
21:06You need to have
21:07celebrity appeal.
21:10And Domingo,
21:11blessedly,
21:12is one of those people
21:13who everyone knows,
21:15even if it's in the context
21:15of the three tenors,
21:16which to the layperson is,
21:18oh yeah,
21:18it's Pavarotti, Domingo
21:19and the other guy.
21:20But that puts him
21:21in the realm
21:22of the rarefied celebrity
21:24that can raise big bucks.
21:26You're two to KMZT-FM,
21:42Classical 105.1,
21:44K-Mozart.
21:46Tonight is the big one
21:49for opera in L.A.
21:50It is the opening night
21:51for Los Angeles opera
21:53at 7 tonight,
21:54Verdi's Aida.
21:55The conductor
21:56for tonight's performance
21:57is the company's
21:58new artistic director,
21:59Palacito Domingo.
22:03Have a great performance.
22:05Ah, you do too.
22:07Very good.
22:12Are we ready?
22:15Okay.
22:16Okay.
22:16Okay.
22:17The conducting, of course,
22:32has been growing in me
22:34because of the experience
22:36of the singer.
22:38And year after year
22:39after year,
22:39I was hoping one day
22:41I will do it.
22:44So, about 20 years
22:47or something ago,
22:48I start,
22:49and I start doing very little.
22:51It was like a new thing
23:00because I will conduct
23:01one performance now
23:03and the next one
23:04will be a year later.
23:05Then it will pass
23:06maybe 18 months
23:07and then I have
23:08two performances
23:09because I didn't have time.
23:14Then I decide
23:16that I will have
23:17to find time.
23:18and I said,
23:18I have to start
23:19doing more.
23:28Four,
23:29four or five years,
23:30I have been going on
23:31into 20 performances,
23:3430.
23:35This year,
23:35for instance,
23:36I have 40 performances
23:37to conduct
23:38and basically
23:39it's almost totally
23:41Verdi.
23:43Can we take it there
23:44from letter L,
23:45the entrance of the banda,
23:46please?
23:47Hmm?
23:48Mark the entrance
23:52of the banda,
23:52okay?
23:53Okay.
23:56Beautiful.
24:05This was the first
24:06time I worked with him
24:07as a conductor
24:07and I must say
24:09I think it's beautiful
24:10in a way
24:11because he understands
24:12singers
24:12and he's obviously
24:14very sympathetic
24:15in understanding
24:15to singers.
24:18and so
24:23on the stage
24:23together
24:24and now
24:25and so
24:26on the stage
24:27and so
24:28the short
24:29and so
24:29see you
24:29in a way
24:31that was
24:32good.
24:32¡Gracias!
25:02¡Gracias!
25:32¡Gracias!

26:04I mean, his gesture is not as perfect as the gesture of somebody who has been conducting for years
26:10and whose main profession is to be in a conductor.
26:14But on the contrary, because he conducts, at least when he works with me, he conducts the music that he sings,
26:21you can feel that the communion with the conductor is great.
