Dear Gabba02, I am wondering whether you might have mistaken this 1980 (July) performance broadcast on French TV, namely: Antenne 2 for that of January-March 1977 which was also held in Paris, and yet featured Mirella Freni as Mimi. Many thanks for posting it though. J

What an idiot! I've never been a singer. Never attempted to sing. I am just a benefactor and an an opera lover. Do you need to be an automotive engineering to appreciate the quality of a Porsche? Do you need to be able to design and fabricate an automobile to criticize it if it is a piece of crap? Try to make sense you little wannabe. Now, get lost!

Let me restate what I have said already. The greatest critics are the ones who have failed and are left bitter and angry. Domingo has actually had a great career of singing whatever possible he wanted. He's lowered some yes, but the important thing is that he captivated the audience, and that's the money. Little talent? I don't think little talent would be allowing him to sing so wonderfully today at 70.

Mingo is the master of shady business deal and repressive career moves. He's left a carnage behind him while he was trying to progress in his career with the little talent he head. Instead of following the headline, try to get to the core of the matter. You have no idea about what you're talking.

Lastly, is his poor technique the reason he's still singing today? At 70? Clueless fiddlestick you call others, but I'd say it best suits you.

Might I add that you're ridiculously racist and rude to people that might be even 10 years old. I'd say if opera ever falls because the younger generation loses interests, you've played a major role in that. Just to clear some things, the man started as a baritone and debuted at 18. As he says, he was a lazy tenor and started training as a tenor. So what if he never REALLY had a high C? He did "Salut, demeure chaste et pure" from Faust wonderfully, WITH THE C.

From what I see too, Maestro Domingo is the world-renown Tenor, artist, and you're not. The greatest critics are the ones who have failed and have nothing better to do but be envious.

Mitchy-Asa 19 you clueless fiddlestick what do you know? Have you even seen the inside of an reputable opera house? You bark a lot without any basis. In case you missed it, let me remind you that Mingo (where's the Do?) never sung La Boheme in key. Well..he barely sung anything in key throughout his entire career. If you cannot discern what's superb and whats pedestrian that's your limitation.

PS Inquisitive, my little man, I think you lost your little tussle with alvarogm.

You my friend, have been getting a slight bit uptight about all this (dramatic understatement, I know). I think we can all agree to disagree with you on Domingo's singing talent... and I believe I speak for most who have read your comments when I say you need a good punch in the nose.
