Llega Plácido Domingo a Costa Rica para concierto - accompanied in an armoured car from airport to hotel by police escort ; greeted with kindness the people in the hotel (it's hardly newsworthy Plácido being kind to people!); and private dinner with the President. Marta didn't travel with him
Plácido Domingo ofrece sorpresas en su debut en Costa rica - where he announces his plans to perform on the Moon...;-) and also speaks briefly about his granddaughter-who-takes-her-clothes-off.
Plácido Domingo canta acompañado por sinfónica y mariachis en Costa Rica - including a report that the audience gave him a standing ovation, and also that while singing Granada he knocked over a music stand...I presume he wasn't using the stand for Granada!
This site contains a 4 minute clip of Il Lamento di Federico (I had to enable 3rd-party cookies to view it...). He's looking and sounding good considering this is a poor quality clip from the audience. I've just realised it's less than 4 weeks til I see him. (I am so excited but you know that!)
Plácido joins Latina opera divas and mariachis in first Costa Rica show:
By the end of the show, after 11 p.m., many in the crowd undoubtedly wished that every day could be Domingo.
I do wish that just occaisonally some online newspaper could publich a decent photograph from his concerts in Latin America. I could do a better job myself with an amateur-level camera. Sigh
