Plácido Domingo has sung 151 roles in Italian, French, German, English, Spanish and Russian. His main repertoire now encompasses more than150 roles, with over 4000 career performances. Most of his repertoire is Italian (Otello, Cavaradossi in Tosca, Don Carlo, Des Grieux in Manon Lescaut, Dick Johnson in La fanciulla del West, Radames in Aida), French (Faust, Werther, Don José in Carmen, Samson in Samson et Dalila), and German (Lohengrin, Parsifal, and Siegmund in Die Walküre). Domingo currently continues to add more operas to his repertoire. Since 2009, he has moved substantially into the baritone repertoire, especially focusing on Verdi baritone roles. Tim Page, a Pulitzer Prize-winner for music criticism, described Domingo in a 1996 Washington Post article as “the most versatile, intelligent and altogether accomplished operatic tenor now before the public.”
Maestro Domingo’s official repertoire list includes all of his operatic roles on stage and recordings, as well as his zarzuela and operetta debuts made in opera houses and on recordings since his operatic debut on 23 September 1959.
