Opera Review - Domingo Excels as Boccanegra - NYTimes.com
Mr. Domingo’s burnished tone was deeply moving when urging peace and love. In sterling form throughout, he brought a deft touch to the final word, “figlia” (daughter), of the recognition duet with Amelia, a problematic moment for baritones.

Berliners Boo Director, Cheer Domingo as Baritone: Review - Bloomberg.com
Domingo exuded alpha- animal charisma throughout. This is no tectonic shift in voice type or technical miracle. Domingo simply sang as he always does, with crackling presence, musical intelligence, fastidious attention to detail, and bold imagination. The low notes are not always the loudest, but the high notes are effortless, and everything in between is utterly compelling.

Placido Domingo: My Greatest Roles on DVD Available on November 17th - PR.com
Placido Domingo is the most important person alive in opera. Greatest of the stage tenors still performing, experienced conductor, intendant of not one but two U.S. opera houses - these facts alone hardly begin to delineate the man. Major sponsorship flocks to him, his influence is felt in opera houses worldwide, and his support can be the making of a singer’s career. But only once every ten years he allows the television cameras in. This time, probably the last television look at his active career, it takes the form of a retrospective of his greatest work, building up a picture of this unique man throughout his extraordinary career.
Placido pays it forward
"He won't be spending the whole $1m award on crisps"
"The gold-plated kebab he's keeping for a door stop though."
The photos illustrate that the beard is back (nearly). Good!
