Description: Domingo, arguably the greatest tenor of our time, is the subject of the first opera book in the "Royal Opera House Heritage" series, which focuses on the special relationship he has enjoyed with the Company and with the Royal Opera House since his debut there in 1971. His absolute mastery of the Italian and French dramatic tenor repertory has not stopped him finding fresh challenges, notably as a Heldentenor in Wagner and as an orchestral conductor: he made his British conducting debut with The Royal Opera in 1983. Over the years his collaborators have included the conductors Carlos Kleiber, Sir Georg Solti and Colin Davis, the singers Montserrat Caballe, Kiri Te Kanawa and Thomas Allen, and the directors John Schlesinger and Franco Zeffirelli. The book shows Domingo in rehearsal as well as in performance and includes pictures lent by the Domingo family.
