Anglais - Plácido Domingo wants to create a school and a theatre dedicated to zarzuela
Plácido Domingo, the singer with 150 roles as a tenor and baritone, the conductor and even the theatre director, needs no introduction.

This was a winning bet both for the musical quality of the interpretation as well as for the theatrical interest of the new production. The young Sevillian stage director Rafael R. Villalobos was charged with this project. He brought together on stage the celebrated 1928 novel by Virginia Woolf, ‘Orlando: A Biography’, and the Handel characters – who in turn come, through various intermediary variations, from the epic chivalrous poem by Ludovico Ariosto published in 1532, the Orlando furioso. Orlando, Castell Peralada (c) Toti Ferrer In Peralada’s new ‘genderless’ production, the opera’s original love triangle between Dorinda, Angelica and Medoro (a male role, always performed by a woman), turns into the love triangle […]
