Spanish tenor Placido Domingo will delight Dominican audiences singing Rafael Solano's "Por Amor" and Manuel Sanchez Acosta's "Paraiso Sonado" during his Friday, 20 June performance at Altos de Chavon, the 5,000-seat amphitheater in La Romana. This will be Domingo's second appearance in the Dominican Republic. On the first occasion, in 2002, he performed at the National Theater.
For the Altos de Chavon performance, Dominican singer Amaury Sanchez and 60 musicians from the Dominican and Puerto Rican national symphonies will accompany the tenor. Domingo is coming to promote his new CD, Pasion Espanola that is dedicated to Spanish 'coplas', when music and poetry focus on passionate love affairs. The songs were hugely popular in the 1940s and 1950s when Placido Domingo was growing up, and now they are back in fashion, making the Spanish pop charts.
Concert tickets are already for sale in Auto Germanica in Santo Domingo. In Santo Domingo, call 809 535-7800 or 809 535-5444.
