Placido Domingo (b.1941) Born in Madrid, Spain, Domingo is a Spanish tenor who currently holds the record for the most tenor roles performed: 130 in his repertoire. Here Domingo sings the aria 'Di quella pira' in a live performance of Il trovatore.
Domingo was never known for performing particularly well on this aria...but in this performance he does fine, in my opinion.
Although the key is transponsed a half step down, most tenors do so to avoid the risk of cracking on a high C...and of course Domingo never had much of a high C.
