    Fantastic find, this video of the Great Domingo accepting yet another of the many awards he's received over his lifetime, never seen it before. Gonna show this to the missus later, maybe she'll remember it. World Music Awards founded 1989 under patronage of the Prince Albert II of Monaco. Cool, and tied to a charity. Er, the Princess makes a couple of mistakes in her intro listing various milestones of his (it happens). lol At 1:35 she says he's sung "more opening nights [at the Met] than anyone since Caruso." He's sung more opening nights than anyone __including__ Caruso, and no one else comes even close, so far as I know thus far. 🤠Hola amigo, como estas? Hope the rioting we're seeing in the news is not affecting you negatively. It's hard to know how people feel about their own govt leaders, but from over here across the pond, Macron does not seem popular with anyone except maybe the elites. I know nothing about French politics, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (this Windows key plus the period menu is the only way I could use that shrug thingy. Har.) I finally uploaded a few small videos to keep YT from taking away yet more functions from my log in. I'm working on uploading an opera video but that is gonna take some time, I'm on a learning curve. lol Anyway, life's been very busy here, hope it has been for you too. Abrazo calido joven, hasta la proxima. ~A.

      Holà Compadre!!!🤠
      Cómo estás?
      Thanks !!
      IKR!
      I just HAD to upload it on UA-cam .
      (I cut the Tosca aria because I’m afraid of copyrights)
      I’m happy you discovered a new find .
      Internet is so cool because it allows you to keep video (and photos) archives for absolutely anything , which was not the case in the pass of course.
      Problem is , it’s scattered a bit everywhere. That’s also why I try to reassemble everything on UA-cam. It’s just much more easier and fun than to go search on some old website .
      Lol ! I thought of that too !
      I can hardly imagine Caruso singing more performances at the met in the 1900th than Domingo .
      I like the way she talks tough, it’s smooth and elegant.
      And Domingo was in prime English at that time 👌.
      He’s always so gentleman with the misses 😆.
      I’m alright thanks ! ( let’s say better)
      It’s been a while since I gave you last news.
      This was a complicated year, I took a break out from studying.
      It may sound silly but on July 2022, i started having some vertigo for no specific reason, my mind was spinning around and i had a couple panic attacks . But I didn’t know why !! That was the most strangest part. I had like an existential crisis .
      So I decided I needed some serenity . And even question myself .
      I decided to took a year off.
      I started to learn music with regular singing lessons .
      ( and my teacher is sure that I’m Tenor 😁)
      I went a lot to the opera , I did more sports, I traveled a bit .
      And I worked in a restaurant to still have a bit of revenue of course.
      It was a interesting year and I learned a lot about myself.
      But despite all that fun activities I need to admit it , I had a big lack of regularity and serious goals.
      I realised how life is much much more difficult if you don’t have a routine and some goals especially when you young .
      So now for summer , I’m working in a grand hotel on a island on the west coast of France.
      It’s very pretty here !
      Work is not easy but at least I have some filled days .
      And I count on going back to studying on September.
      Voila voila.
      It’s a bit messed up but that’s what happened in a resume !😅
      Oh it’s a delicate situation.
      Yes indeed there’s been big riots especially recently due to the death of a young teenager shot almost unnecessarily by the police in the suburbs of Paris.
      It’s been a madhouse .
      I honestly don’t know what to think of that.
      The police are nervous since a couple years.
      They have a bad reputation ( for no specific reason) and it tends to get bloody when they go in popular neighborhoods .
      There is serious problem with that.
      Yes almost everyone hates our French president for various reasons. He’s an active president and he’s changing a lot of rules.
      And he sometimes acts like a prince on a throne.
      But we know it the French hates change , they will always say no if there’s something new.
      It’s on our blood.
      It’s astonishing on how he had bad reputation here .
      Just ask someone in the street and I will think Macron is a fool .
      Let’s not forget that the majority voted for him.
      We should move on and accept.
      Also Macron arrived in Power in a time of big change for France .
      I think we need more patriotism in our country .
      But that’s just my POV.
      Lol sorry for this long text, it’s been such a long time !
      Really you are uploading operas ?!
      That would be awesome amigo.
      I’ll go have a look on your channel.
      I’m happy to here that you and your missus are doing well .
      A la proxima Alejandro !

      @@Sacha_Kudli Bon jour mon ami! Good to hear from you, it's been a while, life can get busy so quickly. Yes, sometimes the internet is actually useful. lol If Caruso had lived past his 40s maybe he would've set the records that Domingo holds, but that is called dreaming for what could have been, and that is something the Carusians do when denouncing Domingo. lol We can only count that which can be counted, so, they need to chill.
      They don't make princesses like they used to, that's for sure. I think Princess Caroline is about the last princess, except maybe the one married to Prince Andrew, Princess Kate?, who behaves like a princess who respects her people. Know what I mean? Yes indeed, Domingo was very courtly and chivalrous with her, he was and remains a caballero. You needed a break from the studies, that's understandable. We all have to take break here and there from the routine. Singing lessons, good deal. Didn't I say I think you're a tenor a while back? I know my tenors!
      Yeah, that's what we've been hearing about Macron, that he acts like royalty rather than as an elected. Bankers. Never trust a banker to run your country. Lately it seems more obvious that the elites keep rigging elections so they come out how they want, regardless of how the people vote. In the US more and more, and maybe in France too. For sure in other countries as well. Elections have always been vulnerable to fraud and other nonsense. Until we put rock hard safeguards on them, so it will be.
      Every country needs more patriotism, otherwise the globalist pests will keep interfering.
      By all means drop on by my channel now that I've got a few modest uploads. No opera yet, but I'm working on it. Glad you're taking care of yourself Sacha, and continuing to learn. Until again soon, ~A.

      The Carusians lol 😂
      Iv actually heard about them !!
      And even if he had lived after his past 40s , would he have held the endurance of his young years like Domingo did so well ?
      So many superstars (especially singers) tend one time or another to fall due to sickness, fatigue, scandals, drugs or just becoming “has been”.
      That’s also why Domingo is a legend. He managed to kept his health and endurance during 60 years of active career !
      It’s just fascinating and how did he did it ?
      Is it his health care ?
      is it his well supporting family ?
      Or is it simply the passion of playing someone else on stage ?
      In any case there’s something truly mythical about him.
      My singing teacher who’s a reel bel canto snob admitted before I left Paris that yes Domingo is Half God.
      You can imagine the smile on my face
      Yes you know your tenors !
      It’s also thanks to you that I kept searching for my upper range , you’ve gotta be so patient .
      For sure, although I’m passionate about politics, I’m sometimes really disappointed of some characters.
      Power and money is dangerous, you feel like you never have enough!
      I’ve gotta admit, Macron for me did also good changes.
      He’s not scared of the grumpy crowd that keeps saying no for everything you propose.
      But yes his banker side gives some doubts on his figure .
      Yes I do feel that American patriotism is reducing these last years.🤔
      Anyway my good friend it’s always nice chatting with you.
      See you soon!

      @@Sacha_Kudli The Carusians and Krausistas are often quite nutty. lol
      Exactly! We'll never know if Caruso would've even wanted to put in all the hard work to achieve what has Domingo. Reminds me of DiStefano, a tenor with a beautiful sound but had no interest in making an epic career. Domingo is mythical and he is immortal.
      Ah, so Macron has done some good things, that's good to know. Over here, we only hear about the riots.
      Very good my friend, until again, Paz!
