Opera Now Magazine July - Aug 2015 Zurück Ausgabe

We are honoured to welcome Plácido Domingo, one of opera’s most iconic figures, as guest editor of this special edition of Opera Now! Here Domingo gives us a snapshot of the issues that interest him the most in the opera world, from providing opportunities for young talent to celebrating the legacy of his background and using his considerable influence to the good. Leading ladies including Nina Stemme, Ana María Martínez and Angel Blue recount their experiences of performing with the maestro; Domingo offers some personal reflections on how the music of his homeland has provided inspiration throughout his career; and we visit LA Opera, an important springboard for Domingo’s artistic development and vision for the future of the art form. Plus Uruguayan soprano Maria José Siri looks forward to a summer singing Mozart and Verdi in Verona; Michael White on coping with performance anxiety; Opera Now’s guide to singing ‘Che gelida manina’ from La bohème; and your chance to WIN tickets to Domingo’s Operalia at the Royal Opera House.
