"He wants to indulge," said his supporters when Plácido Domingo announced its intention to address baritone roles. A quirk gives it a discreet and once could think of other listeners as it advanced with increasing advertising series representations dedicated to "Simon Boccanegra" around the world. And despite the artistic results of the excursus, rather modest , we sailed along the dithyrambs by the most flattering critical to the singer, while trying to silence the few voices critical with insults and cunning . Sunday, conceited logically seemed encouraged to try their luck with another milestone of the repertory: Rigoletto. Paper that has intimidated generations of baritone, divo does not seem to have given no fear, because it has chosen to present the proposal to half of maximum exposure as the global live television broadcasting.
