Please do not add your own commentary and criticism to Wikipedia. Thankyou Arniep 15:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Arnie you have NO CLUE
Thanks for stating that. This was a trick question. Nobody can get a full birth certificate of the small tenor as there are questions regarding who is his real father. The small man blocked getting one. Try to get one yourself. The tenorissimo website also stated at one point that Dommingo sang more roles than any other tenors. It si a fan site. You said no personal opinion. I guess it depends which personal opinion. Reviews you publish are personal opinions. What about the 78 rpm recordings. Not a jolly good show Arnie old boy.
Arnie should get a FULL birth certificate of Domingo. Lauri Volpi talked early about the birthdate of Domingo, long before it was claimed to be 1941. By the way if it was 1941, Domingo would have been about 15-17 when he recorded Fascist Spanish songs on Spanish Columbia in the 78 format. If Domingo lied about his repertory on his site, he could have lied about many other things.
You have no clue Sir as it was pointed out that Domingo sang more roles than any other tenors. The Rubini repertory proves the opposite
Who cares about this when you want to read up about Domingo?
Put this stuff into the Rubini page. People interested in Rubini, can go read it there.
The Reference: Cassinelli/Maltempi/Pozzoni Rubini l'uomo e l'artista, Cassa Rurale ed Artigiana di Calcio e di Covo 1993 documents that Rubini sang a lot more roles than Placido Domingo. The following link gives the number of roles sung by Domingo on stage
Arniep makes the statement that Domingo sang more roles than any tenor in history. Question for Arnie:
Do you know how many roles every tenor in history sang? Do you know how many roles Enrico Tamberlick sang? How about Gaetano Fraschini? How about Mario? How about Rubini?
I will stop here, but hope you get the point. And please remember, any statements made in Wikipedia have to be verifiable (supported by facts), not the wishful thinking of a fan.

I've protected this page pending a resolution of the dispute on it. By way of getting such resolution started, I've copied below my comment from WP:RfP:
Dear editors, it would be nice if you could add an external link to www.tenorissimo.com. Inside the article on Domingo there is a link to a page on tenorissimo, but it is missing in the 'External Links' section. Tnanks. 84.178.217.126 23:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
As far as I know all the references and official biographies I have found say that Placido is Spanish and not Mexican. Since he was born in Spain and he moved to Mexico while he was 8 to move out again in his early 20s I think it is logical to suppose him as Spanish, but let's see what I have found on the Internet:
It is also worth note Grove Dictionary of Music, Oxford University Press, 1994, Warrack, J. and West, E. The Oxford Dictionary of Opera, OUP, 1992 AND "Plácido Domingo" The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, Columbia University Press, 2003. They say nothing about him being a mexican citizen, although say that he has lived in Mexico.
I don't know if he took up the Mexican Citizenship, but he did live there continuously from age 8 (1949?) to 1962. Did he become Mexican during these 13 years?
Just for the record: I am neither spanish nor Mexican, although I have lived both in Mexico and Spain (and in Finland, France, Italy, Argentine...). I just want this article to be as precise as possible.
Please, Unless if you have a copy of his birth certificate and you can prove it, DO NOT change his nationality.
-- Nandonaranja ( talk) 19:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I have added a citation tag to this assertion until a reliable third-party source is found showing that he is commonly considered Spanish-Mexican. -- Chasingsol (talk) 04:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
The article says he has dual citizenship of Spain and Mexico. Is this indeed correct? Please verify and add link to verifiable information source. (May 16, 2006)
He gave an interview about the time of Cancun concert in December 2003 where he refrained from commenting on some aspect of Mexican politics because he is not Mexican, merely lives in Mexico. AndI have read nterviews where he says his wife and sons are Mexican.

Nobody can possibly sing Alfredo at 20. Nobody could manage 12 roles and 280 performances ar 21 to 22 1/2. And nobody can sing Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor at 21 as said. The fairy tale of a man who wants to be born in 1941. Much more realistic is 1934. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.44.147.2 ( talk • contribs) 20:40, 28 October 2007
There is no evident to prove that Domingo is Mexican, despite have been living there practically half of all his life – and that means he is not and obviously cannot be considered as “Mexican”. If you have any evidence for it, please include it in the article for reference or not, the category or nationality of the “Mexican” will always be questioned by many people. As far as the law is concerned, he is Spanish. Wiki must set the correct information and not misleading the fact just because he was brought up in Mexico. My cousin was born in my country and has been living in UK for more than half her life, but I can never say she is British until she received her British citizenship recently – this is one real life example. - Jay 03:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

The article states that "Among his first performances is as the role of drunkard for the production of My Fair Lady where he is also the assistant conductor and assistant coach."
There is no "drunkard" in My Fair Lady. Did he play some anonymous drinker, or was he playing Doolittle, an important character with two songs and and several long comic speeches? I would suspect the latter. And somebody needs to fix the tenses, since I presume Domingo "was" the assistant. CharlesTheBold 01:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I guessed that; my point is that the article needs fixing, since "drunkard" is quite an understatement if he was playing an important character like Doolittle. Nobody would say that a Falstaff actor was "playing the drunkard in I Henry IV". CharlesTheBold 20:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

If he was born in 1934 then he would be 73 now and still making promises to perform at age 80. For an opera singer that's as incredible as you claim at the young end of the range. CharlesTheBold 21:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

This should not be done except for the removal of material incompatible with biographies of living persons. Simply disputing the birth date and arguing that a 20 year old couldn't sing Alfredo does not fall into that category, although the constant repetition of this is getting pretty annoying. Removing it also made the reply by CharlesTheBold out of context because the statement he had replied to was no longer visible. This is why I have restored it.

Does anybody see a benefit in converting the Complete repertoire section into tables, such as the ones used to good effect on List of recordings by Plácido Domingo?

Within 3 weeks of the last semi-protection being lifted, the following anonymous IPs have started the birth date vandalism again and revert warring again:
They are highly likely to be all the same person, and the same one who previously vandalised the article (See Vandalism:213.196.196.168/213.196.196.163 and Continued vandalism by 195.14.201.27/213.196.199.75 above.)
I am on my second revert today and have requested semi-protection again. Voceditenore ( talk) 11:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Update Semi-protection has been refused on the grounds that the article "hasn't been vandalized enough recently". It's unclear how much is "enough", especially in the biography of a living person. Hence, I'm keeping track here. Since the previous semi-protection was lifted, the article has had the false birth date repeatedly re-inserted by the anonymous IPs above on:

Stage named for opera singer
By Bruce Eggler, Times-Picayune, March 24, 2008
[...] Even though Domingo has never sung at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre of the Performing Arts, the New Orleans City Council voted 7-0 last week to name the city-owned theater's stage in his honor: the Placido Domingo Stage in the Mahalia Jackson Theatre in Louis Armstrong Park. Such honors normally go to prominent local residents or national celebrities who were at least born in New Orleans, such as gospel singer Jackson and jazz great Armstrong [...]

Voceditenore ( talk) 11:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
I know this has been discussed before. But i think he has a right to be categorized as such. Not because it's my opinion, but because he self-identifies as a Mexican. I just saw an interview with him at 9 A.M. (central time) this morning on the Spanish language network Univision in Al Punto, hosted by Jorge Ramos. Well, during the interview, he is asked; "Where are you from, or where do you consider yourself from?" and he replies; "I consider myself both Spanish and Mexican. As it is known, I was born in Spain and lived in Mexico from age 8 to 21." - Lancini87 ( talk) 15:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
As I mentioned in a previous edit, Domingo's biography on his officially authorized web site lists him as only performing 126 roles, and though the the link provided previously says 130 roles, it includes four "roles" he performed on a recording, but never live on stage. His biography states he has performed 126, and if you were to ask him personally how many roles he's performed, his response would be 126. Thus, it should be reported as 126 on this page so nobody questions the validity of the information on this page. If someone finds this wikipedia article stating 130 roles, and finds his official biography on his web site stating 126 roles, one might question the accuracy of the information on this page.
Also, if you want to state how many roles he's performed, and include "as of (month) of (year)" in parenthesis, it needs to be listed as the current month and year, otherwise it suggests that the information could have changed between the date listed and the present time. If you want to keep the listing of "March of 2008," the wording should be changed to "Domingo performed his 126th on stage role in March of 2008," or something similar.

Let's make a deal; if you can mention this ovation can I mention him being booed as both a conductor and singer or having the worst top of any tenor in his supposed class? 174.1.140.204 ( talk) 03:57, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
ANOTHER RECORD? Quotation from the main page: Since then, he has opened the season at the Metropolitan Opera 21 times, surpassing the previous record of Enrico Caruso by four. +++ THAT is an easy record indeed. Caruso died at 48. He sang 863 times at the MET within 17!!! years. Domingo 631 times in 43 years. And considering the true age of Domingo, 75 not 68 the 'record' is even more doubtful. Poor great Domingo. He suffers from a Caruso-Neurosis. He will never ever reach the greatest singer of all times, with no story whatsoever.

....surpassing Carusos record by four (opening of the season at the MET) Again Domingo suffers from a Caruso-neurosis: Please note, Caruso died at 48, he sang at the Met 863 times within 17 years, whereas Domingo,being 75 not 68, sang there 631 times within 44 years. Easy to understand where the recordholder is. Poor Domingo who really wouldn't need to claim again and again records that don't exist.

Please do not add your own commentary and criticism to Wikipedia. Thankyou Arniep 15:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Arnie you have NO CLUE
Thanks for stating that. This was a trick question. Nobody can get a full birth certificate of the small tenor as there are questions regarding who is his real father. The small man blocked getting one. Try to get one yourself. The tenorissimo website also stated at one point that Dommingo sang more roles than any other tenors. It si a fan site. You said no personal opinion. I guess it depends which personal opinion. Reviews you publish are personal opinions. What about the 78 rpm recordings. Not a jolly good show Arnie old boy.
Arnie should get a FULL birth certificate of Domingo. Lauri Volpi talked early about the birthdate of Domingo, long before it was claimed to be 1941. By the way if it was 1941, Domingo would have been about 15-17 when he recorded Fascist Spanish songs on Spanish Columbia in the 78 format. If Domingo lied about his repertory on his site, he could have lied about many other things.
You have no clue Sir as it was pointed out that Domingo sang more roles than any other tenors. The Rubini repertory proves the opposite
Who cares about this when you want to read up about Domingo?
Put this stuff into the Rubini page. People interested in Rubini, can go read it there.
The Reference: Cassinelli/Maltempi/Pozzoni Rubini l'uomo e l'artista, Cassa Rurale ed Artigiana di Calcio e di Covo 1993 documents that Rubini sang a lot more roles than Placido Domingo. The following link gives the number of roles sung by Domingo on stage
Arniep makes the statement that Domingo sang more roles than any tenor in history. Question for Arnie:
Do you know how many roles every tenor in history sang? Do you know how many roles Enrico Tamberlick sang? How about Gaetano Fraschini? How about Mario? How about Rubini?
I will stop here, but hope you get the point. And please remember, any statements made in Wikipedia have to be verifiable (supported by facts), not the wishful thinking of a fan.

I've protected this page pending a resolution of the dispute on it. By way of getting such resolution started, I've copied below my comment from WP:RfP:
Dear editors, it would be nice if you could add an external link to www.tenorissimo.com. Inside the article on Domingo there is a link to a page on tenorissimo, but it is missing in the 'External Links' section. Tnanks. 84.178.217.126 23:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
As far as I know all the references and official biographies I have found say that Placido is Spanish and not Mexican. Since he was born in Spain and he moved to Mexico while he was 8 to move out again in his early 20s I think it is logical to suppose him as Spanish, but let's see what I have found on the Internet:
It is also worth note Grove Dictionary of Music, Oxford University Press, 1994, Warrack, J. and West, E. The Oxford Dictionary of Opera, OUP, 1992 AND "Plácido Domingo" The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, Columbia University Press, 2003. They say nothing about him being a mexican citizen, although say that he has lived in Mexico.
I don't know if he took up the Mexican Citizenship, but he did live there continuously from age 8 (1949?) to 1962. Did he become Mexican during these 13 years?
Just for the record: I am neither spanish nor Mexican, although I have lived both in Mexico and Spain (and in Finland, France, Italy, Argentine...). I just want this article to be as precise as possible.
Please, Unless if you have a copy of his birth certificate and you can prove it, DO NOT change his nationality.

I have added a citation tag to this assertion until a reliable third-party source is found showing that he is commonly considered Spanish-Mexican. -- Chasingsol (talk) 04:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
The article says he has dual citizenship of Spain and Mexico. Is this indeed correct? Please verify and add link to verifiable information source. (May 16, 2006)
He gave an interview about the time of Cancun concert in December 2003 where he refrained from commenting on some aspect of Mexican politics because he is not Mexican, merely lives in Mexico. AndI have read nterviews where he says his wife and sons are Mexican.

Nobody can possibly sing Alfredo at 20. Nobody could manage 12 roles and 280 performances ar 21 to 22 1/2. And nobody can sing Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor at 21 as said. The fairy tale of a man who wants to be born in 1941. Much more realistic is 1934. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.44.147.2 ( talk • contribs) 20:40, 28 October 2007
There is no evident to prove that Domingo is Mexican, despite have been living there practically half of all his life – and that means he is not and obviously cannot be considered as “Mexican”. If you have any evidence for it, please include it in the article for reference or not, the category or nationality of the “Mexican” will always be questioned by many people. As far as the law is concerned, he is Spanish. Wiki must set the correct information and not misleading the fact just because he was brought up in Mexico. My cousin was born in my country and has been living in UK for more than half her life, but I can never say she is British until she received her British citizenship recently – this is one real life example. - Jay 03:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Three separate registered editors, all members of The Opera Project have provided 4 verifiable references for Domingo's 1941 birth date: Encyclopedia Britannica, Concise Grove Dictionary of Music, The Encyclopedia of World Biography, and Warrack, J. and West, E. The Oxford Dictionary of Opera (1992). If anyone can provide verifiable evidence to the contrary, please bring it to the talk page and stop editing anonymously.

The article states that "Among his first performances is as the role of drunkard for the production of My Fair Lady where he is also the assistant conductor and assistant coach."
There is no "drunkard" in My Fair Lady. Did he play some anonymous drinker, or was he playing Doolittle, an important character with two songs and and several long comic speeches? I would suspect the latter. And somebody needs to fix the tenses, since I presume Domingo "was" the assistant. CharlesTheBold 01:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I guessed that; my point is that the article needs fixing, since "drunkard" is quite an understatement if he was playing an important character like Doolittle. Nobody would say that a Falstaff actor was "playing the drunkard in I Henry IV". CharlesTheBold 20:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

If he was born in 1934 then he would be 73 now and still making promises to perform at age 80. For an opera singer that's as incredible as you claim at the young end of the range. CharlesTheBold 21:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

This should not be done except for the removal of material incompatible with biographies of living persons. Simply disputing the birth date and arguing that a 20 year old couldn't sing Alfredo does not fall into that category, although the constant repetition of this is getting pretty annoying. Removing it also made the reply by CharlesTheBold out of context because the statement he had replied to was no longer visible. This is why I have restored it. Note also that if it is necessary to remove a comment from the talk page, this should be noted on both the edit summary and on the talk page itself.

Does anybody see a benefit in converting the Complete repertoire section into tables, such as the ones used to good effect on List of recordings by Plácido Domingo? The ones on this page contain an equal amount of information needing to be read clearly. I am happy to give it a shot, but don't want to do the work if it turns out to be unneeded :-) Leth esl 13:32, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Within 3 weeks of the last semi-protection being lifted, the following anonymous IPs have started the birth date vandalism again and revert warring again:
They are highly likely to be all the same person, and the same one who previously vandalised the article (See Vandalism:213.196.196.168/213.196.196.163 and Continued vandalism by 195.14.201.27/213.196.199.75 above.)
I am on my second revert today and have requested semi-protection again. Voceditenore ( talk) 11:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Update Semi-protection has been refused on the grounds that the article "hasn't been vandalized enough recently". It's unclear how much is "enough", especially in the biography of a living person. Hence, I'm keeping track here. Since the previous semi-protection was lifted, the article has had the false birth date repeatedly re-inserted by the anonymous IPs above on:

Stage named for opera singer
By Bruce Eggler, Times-Picayune, March 24, 2008
[...] Even though Domingo has never sung at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre of the Performing Arts, the New Orleans City Council voted 7-0 last week to name the city-owned theater's stage in his honor: the Placido Domingo Stage in the Mahalia Jackson Theatre in Louis Armstrong Park. Such honors normally go to prominent local residents or national celebrities who were at least born in New Orleans, such as gospel singer Jackson and jazz great Armstrong [...]

I know this has been discussed before. But i think he has a right to be categorized as such. Not because it's my opinion, but because he self-identifies as a Mexican. I just saw an interview with him at 9 A.M. (central time) this morning on the Spanish language network Univision in Al Punto, hosted by Jorge Ramos. Well, during the interview, he is asked; "Where are you from, or where do you consider yourself from?" and he replies; "I consider myself both Spanish and Mexican. As it is known, I was born in Spain and lived in Mexico from age 8 to 21." - Lancini87 ( talk) 15:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
As I mentioned in a previous edit, Domingo's biography on his officially authorized web site lists him as only performing 126 roles, and though the the link provided previously says 130 roles, it includes four "roles" he performed on a recording, but never live on stage. His biography states he has performed 126, and if you were to ask him personally how many roles he's performed, his response would be 126. Thus, it should be reported as 126 on this page so nobody questions the validity of the information on this page. If someone finds this wikipedia article stating 130 roles, and finds his official biography on his web site stating 126 roles, one might question the accuracy of the information on this page.
Also, if you want to state how many roles he's performed, and include "as of (month) of (year)" in parenthesis, it needs to be listed as the current month and year, otherwise it suggests that the information could have changed between the date listed and the present time. If you want to keep the listing of "March of 2008," the wording should be changed to "Domingo performed his 126th on stage role in March of 2008," or something similar.

ANOTHER RECORD? Quotation from the main page: Since then, he has opened the season at the Metropolitan Opera 21 times, surpassing the previous record of Enrico Caruso by four. +++ THAT is an easy record indeed. Caruso died at 48. He sang 863 times at the MET within 17!!! years. Domingo 631 times in 43 years. And considering the true age of Domingo, 75 not 68 the 'record' is even more doubtful. Poor great Domingo. He suffers from a Caruso-Neurosis. He will never ever reach the greatest singer of all times, with no story whatsoever.

....surpassing Carusos record by four (opening of the season at the MET) Again Domingo suffers from a Caruso-neurosis: Please note, Caruso died at 48, he sang at the Met 863 times within 17 years, whereas Domingo,being 75 not 68, sang there 631 times within 44 years. Easy to understand where the recordholder is. Poor Domingo who really wouldn't need to claim again and again records that don't exist.
