I just close my eyes and think of Placido Domingo.
Quotes about placido (4 Quotes)
Working with Placido Domingo, we have coined the term 'American Ring,' and the designers and I are using American history, mythology, iconography and landscape to set the operas.
Placido said I should try different things, ... So we came up with the idea of introducing the character of Offenbach into the opera to explain things and move the action along. They told me I couldn't change the music, but I could add my own interpretation to the book.
When Placido wanted to do it (the Ring) I was very excited to do it here. So many of the stories in the Ring are also right here - stories about power, greed, about society, respect for the environment, all hot issues of our time which are in the Ring and also right here, in the seat of American and in some sense global power.
