I was reading Paul McCreesh's biographical blurb in the programme for tonight's Creation and it said
...in 2008 he will conduct two Handel operas for the Teatro Real, Madrid...a new production of Tamerlano with a cast that includes Plácido Domingo...
2008 I believe is when Plácido will be in Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride in Salzburg.
Previous baroque roles include: Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie (in Boston USA) in 1966*, and, er, that's it.
So, at the age of 67 Pláci will embark on a whole new repertoire. Which is bizarre and simulataneously cool.
