Placido Domingo - Paris 2024

Thursday the 4th of March 2024

Once a year since a while, Placido Domingo stops at the the French capital for spreading his legendary voice in “La Salle Gaveau”.
A rather small theater build in the early 20th century with a capacity 1020 seats .
Who would believe the Maestro would be singing at this day, with of course a less enduring breath , a less volcanic sound but yet he keeps this warm , velvet voice that we know him so well for .
The casting is a success,
Every singer honours there role but the second stare of the evening was Olga Maslova , a Russian dramatic soprano who played Abigaille.
Her strong and stratospheric voice gave her an impressive presence on stage.
The Priest Zaccaria was also stunning.
Interpreted by Marko Mimica , a Croatian Bass with a dark and warm colour yet authoritarian .

When Domingo was the darling of the 70s and 80s, he often mentioned that he would stop singing the day when the crowd would find him rusty . Well at 83 years , this day has not arrived.
