Every half century or so, a leader emerges in his field of such substance and force that he stands out head and shoulder above the rest and the best.
Even to people who have never graced the great opera houses of the world, the name and the voice of Placido Domingo are justifiably hailed. But for those who will queue all night to share the sheer color of this man’s singing, he is a legend.
A legend which can be heard from Hamburg to Paris, from Milan to New York.
But Placido is not simply the world’s greatest tenor; rather a complete musician who also possesses a marvelous voice.
At rehearsals, his mastery of the piano enables him to sit and play through the score; thinking of the emotions that words and music are attempting to communicate.
His experience as a conductor gives him objectivity, not only about his own interpretation of the part, but also on the total performance.
"To understand the part," he says, "one must first musically and dramatically understand the whole. I was lucky to have been given the talents to do this."
Placido Domingo also has an extremely good understanding of the watch he chooses to wear.
A Rolex Oyster GMT-Master in 18ct. gold.
"This watch is perfect for me," he says, "because it simultaneously tells me the time in two different countries which is extremely useful considering the amount of traveling I have to do. And opera people all over the world are pleased too, because now I don’t get them out of bed when I ring them. And, unlike me, this watch never needs a rest. You could say it’s my favorite instrument. "
For the complete musician. The complete watch. By Rolex of Geneva.
