Production of National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing, China 2013. Placido Domingo as the title role Nabucco. Arias: "Porta fatale, or t'aprirai!" "Cadran, cadranno i perfidi...O prodi miei, seguitemi"
Plácido has created a new fach: the mezzo-tenor. While he remains a great singer and musician, he should leave the Verdi baritone roles to those who have the vocal heft and color to do them justice. Why doesn't he sing songs and tangos where he can still show his artistry?
Domingo is not and will not be a baritone. Unfortunately. Moreover, he is intonationally inaccurate and I'm not sure the words match the libretto of the opera. Domingo and Nabucco? Absolutely not. Gobbi, Cappuccilli, Bruson, Colzani, Becchi - these gentlemen are Nabuccos.
Brace yourselves for yet another ear-splitting disaster! Nalsingo the Nasal Singing Flamingo strikes again with his horrendous Nabucco performance-featuring 0 vibrato, maximum off-key chaos, and a total lack of singo! But don't worry, he still prances around like he's the Kingo! 😂
