Plácido Domingo: "My Greatest Roles Volume 1: Puccini". Available on DVD November 10th

Kultur announces the DVD release of Plácido Domingo: My Greatest Roles Volume 1: Puccini. This 3-DVD set will be available on November 10, 2009 for a suggested retail price of $49.99.

This three opera set includes the greatest roles of Plácido Domingo composed by Giacomo Puccini, Tosca, Manon Lescaut and, La Fanciulla Del West.

Tosca: This highly regarded “live film” production features contemporary Rome as the setting for this innovative version of Puccini’s Tosca. Performed in the Roman locations- and at the same time of day-as Puccini had written into his score: in the 16th century church of Sant’ Andréa della Valle at noon, the nearby Palazzo Farnese that evening and finally at Castel Sant’ Angelo early the following morning. The story and characters of Tosca are largely fictional, but the trappings of satellite technology endowed this production with the same sense of partial reality as a TV news clip. Domingo is accompanied by Catherine Malfatano in the lead role, and it is conducted by Zubin Mehta leading the Symphony Orchestra and Chorus of Rome RAI.

This set also reprises Plácido Domingo’s roles as Des Grieux in Manon Lescaut with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, and Ramirez in La Fanciulla Del West with Carol Neblett and conducted by Nello Santi with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera.

Plácido Domingo received the first ever $1 million dollar Birgit Nilsson award at a formal award ceremony in Stockholm.

Domingo, who won the prize for his "unrivaled" contributions to the world of opera, accepted the award from King Carl XVI Gustaf at the Royal Swedish Opera.

Late Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson chose Domingo as the inaugural winner of the prize nearly a decade ago, demanding the name would be kept secret until after her death. She died at age 87 on Dec. 25, 2005.

During the award ceremony, Domingo said he would use the prize money to set up a specific Birgit Nilsson category for Wagnerian singers within the framework of his opera competition Operalia.

In an emotional speech, he said it was "unbelievable" to be standing on the stage where Nilsson had performed so many times, calling her "one of the greatest artists, if not the greatest."

"This is comparable to the Nobel Prize in music," Domingo said.

Nilsson and Domingo first performed together at a matinee production of "Tosca" in 1969.
