Opera Singer Plácido Domingo

IT'S NOT JUST UNUSUAL, IT'S UNPRECEDENTED.

YOU HAVE PERFORMED MORE ROLES THAN ANYBODY IN THE HISTORY OF OPERA.

I THINK YOU'RE ON YOUR 150th ROLE, IS THAT RIGHT?

THE PREVIOUS ROLE IS 50 OR 60.

NOBODY HAS COME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THAT.

I WAS ALWAYS VERY CURIOUS ABOUT DIFFERENT REPERTOIRE.

I TELL YOU, THERE IS SO MUCH MUSIC IN THIS WORLD THAT I WOULD NEED THREE OR FOUR LIVES TO ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SING.

IT'S SO AMAZING.

NOT TO PUT TOO FINE A POINT ON IT BUT YOU'RE 78 YEARS OLD.

OPERA STARS DON'T LAST UNTIL THEY ARE 78 YEARS OLD.

'THE NEW YORK TIMES' WROTE IT'S AS IF TOM BRADY WAS STILL WINNING SUPER BOWL IN HIS '60s WHILE PLAYING THREE SPORTS AT ONCE.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT RETIRING?

I KNOW IT WILL ARRIVE, YOU KNOW, BUT I HAVE SUCH A DEEP LIFE WITH MUSIC, SINGING, CONDUCTING.

I'M ALSO THE GENERAL DIRECTOR OF THE OPERA IN LOS ANGELES.

OF COURSE ONE OF THE THINGS OF MY HEART VERY DEEP AND VERY CLOSE IS THE COMPETITION WHICH WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT 26 YEARS ALREADY.

I'M SO PROUD.

A BIG, BIG PERCENTAGE OF THE BIG STARS, BIG NAMES AROUND THE WORLD, THEY HAVE BEEN COMING OUT OPERALIA.♪

RIGHT NOW THEY WANT TO STAR IN OMAN.

OMAN?

THE PERSIAN GULF?

YES.

AND ALSO IN BEIJING ALSO.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE THREE TENORS, WHEN YOU WERE FIRST WITH THEM, JUST DESCRIBE THAT.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE WHEN YOU GET WITH THEM IN ROME.

♪♪

THE STORIES THAT JOSE ONE YEAR WAS OUT OF SYNCING BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING LEUKEMIA.

HE WAS TREATED IN SEATTLE.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TIME.

HE CAME BACK.

HE SURVIVED.

WE WANT TO WELCOME HIM BACK,
