I've just noticed that the Classical Brits will be broadcast on ITV1 on 7 May, repeated on 14 May. That will be when The greatest operatic artist of modern times will be "honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award."
Placido Domingo is described as the Greatest Operatic Artist of Modern Times. He has appeared in 122 different roles, more than any other tenor in the annals of music, in a repertoire spanning the centuries from Mozart to Verdi, Berlioz to Puccini and Wagner to Ginastera. He has sung at every important opera house in the world and made well over 100 acclaimed recordings, most of which are full-length operas, often recording the same role more than once. He has been seen in more than 50 opera videos and three feature opera films, and his telecast performance in Puccinis Tosca, filmed at authentic Roman locations, was seen by more than a billion people in 117 countries.
