La Scala applauds Placido Domingo for 14 minutes
After performing in his first concert since cancer surgery 45 days ago, 69-year-old Spanish opera star Placido Domingo was applauded for 14 minutes for his portrayal of Verdi's "Simon Boccanegra" Friday night at La Scala.
"It was a great evening," The Associated Press quotes Domingo as saying backstage, after greeting the many friends who crowded to congratulate him. "It was very emotional. I was happy to be in front of an audience,” he said.
