Mumbai: World famous tenor Placido Domingo has said he was looking forward to his first ever performance in India and hoped that it would be a new experience for his fans to see him perform live.
"The public may have seen videos, DVDs and other recordings but seeing it being performed live is a new thing and it is the very first time for them to discover it," the Spanish tenor said.
His last concert in Mexico was a "fun" experience since the stadium was filled with approximately 40,000 people. It allowed many to experience a live opera for the first time, Domingo said.
Domingo will be performing in the open-air stadium of the Cricket Club of India with soprano Barbara Frittoli on October 11 as part of the centenary celebrations of the birth anniversary of conductor Mehli Mehta.
"It is a great thrill to be in Mumbai and India since it is my first trip and have wanted to come here many times," he said.
Domingo, who is also a conductor and director for two operas in the US, said that it was always fun to perform with conductor Zubin Mehta.
