I remember this performance like it was yesterday, instead of 30 years ago. Placido rocked the world of opera by proving that he was indeed, “the” Otello for a generation. This performance was proceeded by an issue of TIME magazine touting Pavarotti as the world’s greatest tenor and predicting that Domingo’s singing of Otello would lead to his premature demise….Hmmmm…. I guess the Berlin audience who heard Domingo’s definitive Siegmund 28 years later would not agree with that acessment…..
