Opera star Placido Domingo at 80
Despite his age, his COVID illness in 2020 and the #MeToo accusations, the man just keeps on singing. Even at 80, Placido Domingo is still on stage.
Placido Domingo in 2018
When discussing his age, he prefers to speak in French. Quatre-vingt (translated: four times twenty ) sounds better than saying that he will kick off his ninth decade of life on January 21, 2021, Placido Domingo said at a meeting with journalists in Moscow at the end of October 2020.
His name, translated from Spanish, means something along the lines of quiet Sunday, but it was precisely on Sundays that the mega-opera star almost never had a day of rest in the past 60 years on stage. There has almost always been a performance or a concert.
