Placido Domingo returns to NCPA stage [ From category News ] [ Article date: 2015-08-28 ] [ From city Beijing ] [ Country China ] [ News from english.cntv.cn ]   Placido Domingo and Chinese soprano He Hui feature in a breathtaking international opera ensemble performing Giuseppe Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra" at China`s National Center for the Performing Arts. Domingo last appeared at the NCPA in 2013, singing the title role of “Nabucco." This time, he is portraying Simon Boccanegra, one of his favorite baritone roles. With a voice at once powerful, captivating, and soaring, the 74-year-old maestro weaves all the emotional strands of the character—from tender intimacy, to hatred, to reconciliation with a long-term foe. In the role of Boccanegra`s daughter is sought-after Chinese soprano He Hui. "[Domingo is] really a gentleman, he`s nice to everyone. He`s a true artist because he`s so into the role, " He said. Back in September 2000, He won second prize at the “Placido Domingo Operalia" in Los Angeles. Afterward, Domingo invited her to sing in concert with him in Shanghai in 2001. "After the competition, I opened my international career. So for me it`s a big chance to share the stage with him. He`s like a maestro for me. It`s really a great honor for me, " He said. The NCPA production was directed by Elijah Moshinsky and is conducted by South Korean conductor Myung-Whun Chung. The stellar cast includes internationally renowned Chinese singers Tian Haojiang and Zhou Xiaolin.
