HI everyone,
Here is an in-house recording of Domingo's unexpected Met debut as
Maurizzo in Adriana Lecourvreur replacing an indisposed Franco
Corelli. At the start of the first file there is the announcement of
the cast change. As in house recordings go the sound is pretty good, a
little bass heavy perhaps, but the music is very clear.
Enjoy

Review of Susan Gould in the Columbia [University] Owl
On the evening of September 28th, Placido Domingo, the young Spanish
tenor. made a phenomenal and unscheduled debut as Maurizio in "Adriana
Lecouvreur," the opera in which he was supposed to have appeared on
October 2nd. Imagine Mr. Domingo's delight when the audience responded
with an unprecedented gesture of cheers as it was announced at 8:10 P.
M. that he would replace Franco Corelli, who was indisposed. And
imagine the relief and excitement in the audience as they heard - many
for the first time - the warm, sweet voice of this young man, who has
already sung with many important opera companies such as the New York
City Opera. Mr. Domingo makes an excellent appearance on stage and
added to "Adriana" the much-needed element of involvement on the part
of the hero. He has performed before with Renata Tebaldi, who sang the
title role beautifully, and the warm rapport that existed between the
two made their scenes together all the more moving.
