About Plácido Domingo

Plácido Domingo (born 21 January 1941, Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish singer, conductor and opera administrator whose resonant and powerful tenor voice made him one of the most popular tenors of his time.

Domingo’s parents were noted performers in zarzuela, a form of Spanish light opera. The family moved to Mexico when he was eight. He studied piano and conducting at the National Conservatory of Music, but he changed the emphasis of his studies when his rich vocal ability was revealed. In 1961 he made his operatic debut in Mexico City and then went to Dallas to perform in its opera company. From 1962 to 1965 he was a resident performer at Tel Aviv’s Hebrew National Opera. He made his debut at the New York City Opera in 1965, at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City in 1968 (subsequently becoming a regular performer there) and at Milan’s La Scala in 1969.

With Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras, he performed around the world as one of the “Three Tenors,” exposing millions of people to the operatic repertoire.

In 1993 he founded an international competition— Operalia — to help young opera singers launch their careers. Over the course of his own career, he received a dozen Grammy Awards in several categories as well as a Kennedy Center Honor (2000), the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom (2002) and an honorary British knighthood (2002), among many other honours.
