As one of classical music's greatest ambassadors, Spanish-Mexican tenor Plácido Domingo has introduced vast audiences to opera traditions through hundreds of recordings, breathtaking concerts, and successful crossover collaborations. In a career that includes stints at the National Opera, New York City Opera, and the Metropolitan Opera, Domingo has carved out a towering legacy as a Verdi specialist; he's sung the Italian composer's entire tenor canon. His accuracy, appealing voice, and skillful characterizations have defined five decades of legendary recordings under conductors such as Carlos Kleiber and James Levine. But Domingo is also one of the most remarkably versatile and influential operatic singers of the 20th and 21st centuries—just listen to his duets with pop icons or blockbusting crossover work with The Three Tenors.
