Forty years ago, a young tenor on tour in Los Angeles took the stage of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. At that time, few in attendance had any idea what the name Plácido Domingo would come to mean to Los Angeles and to opera fans around the world.
Plácido Domingo would go on to change the face of opera as we know it, performing on the Dorothy Chandler Stage more than 120 times and raising LA Opera to its world-class status.
LA Opera Music Director James Conlon will conduct the LA Opera Orchestra in this Gala performance in which Plácido Domingo will touch on the vast breadth of repertory he has conquered in his unparalleled career. The program will feature some of the roles with which he is most closely associated, along with some newly minted gems and genuine surprises.
This historic Gala performance marks the first time that Plácido Domingo and James Conlon will perform together in Los Angeles. Joining Maestro Domingo on the program will be the internationally celebrated soprano Patricia Racette.
