I met Tenor Plácido Domingo in Venezuela, and We Sang with Him!
This weekend was wonderful for me and for the musical groups of my institution. This dream began at the beginning of the year where agreements were made that the great Tenor Placido Domingo would sing in Venezuela in 2023, in fact there was a change of date and change of place of the concert during all these months, but I was very excited all this time, because in our environment, this man is one of the most important representatives of opera singing in the world. I remember that my girl wanted us to buy the tickets at the beginning of the year, but I told her no, I had the faith that we would be closer to the Maestro than I thought, and so it was.
To our surprise, the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra was chosen to accompany Plácido Domingo in Caracas, but they did not call us choir singers, and now I see that none of the musical arrangements had a choral part, it was only for tenor and soprano soloist. While we were at the international congress a couple of weeks ago I remember I was crazy talking to everyone I could to be allowed at least access to Plácido's rehearsal with the orchestra at our venue, and this dream came true last Friday, only it was limited. Not all the singers of my group could be in that rehearsal, but I had the honor of being one of those 25 chosen ones; it was the best thing that could have happened to me because that day he performed, we met him, we took pictures and the best of the best: He knew we were from the choir and when he sang Bésame Mucho, he asked us to sing the chorus, and he liked so much what we did, the few of us who were there, that we had the pleasure to sing again on Saturday and finally be invited for free to the concert on Sunday, where he pointed us out and we accompanied him from the seats doing the chorus to the song already mentioned.
My girl and Plácido...
Saturday was a very special day for the whole institution, since we could not fail to celebrate the Maestro's arrival in Caracas and we shared lots and lots of music. We gave him a tour of the facilities of our headquarters where different musical groups were waiting for him in each of the rooms, such as the Alma Llanera orchestra and its Venezuelan folklore instruments, the children singers, the white hands choir integrated by musicians with motor disabilities, the professional orchestras and even us, the Simon Bolivar National Choir, and we presented him the best of our repertoire. The Maestro was very excited, since he had not come to Venezuela since 2009 and the growth has been incredible, besides remembering familiar faces of that time and some moments in which my institution and he have coincided in European musical events. Here is a group photo we took the Saturday with Plácido Domingo:
Sunday arrives and with it the strongest emotion of this three-day weekend, the great concert at the imposing Poliedro de Caracas. It is the second time I sing here and it has always been for events that mark my artistic life towards the positive. This invitation from the Tenor was born because he had heard us sing on Friday and it occurred to him that it would be an excellent way to surprise the audience if we sang the chorus from the back, and so it was, people loved that moment as much as we did. But we had the joy of enjoying this living legend of lyrical singing, a man who even at 82 years old crushes me and a few baby singers hehe.

Sin palabras hermano, me quedo con la imagen de usted con Plácido. En su rostro se nota grandemente la emoción y me alegra mucho. Continúa disfrutando y llenandote de triunfos y alegrías. Un abrazo
¡Hermano Omar!. Me alegra que hayas coincidido con este post, lo escribí con mucha alegría. Como intento de tenor he disfrutado mucho esta experiencia la considero un privilegio. Lo que más me sorprende es que supe que estaría así de cerca de él desde inicios de año y que haya pasado en realidad ❤️
Placido Domingo, photos, Poliedro de Caracas and singing with him... what more can you ask from life?... you and Jhoxi look very happy brother, it's great such a magnificent closing of the weekend, I think your musical memories must be written someday from what you bring us to Hive, that will be something very valuable especially for you, because you must feel very proud of where you are, the journey you have done and where you are going 🤜🤛
I loved each one of the photos, it is to feel that I am there living that with you and to see the Poliedro so brutal inside brought me a lot of emotion and nostalgia since many times I went there and that place is very desired by any Venezuelan artist mainly.
What a trip, what experiences, what beautiful moments will remain in your mind, I congratulate you my brother and Jhoxi too, you deserve to live this to the fullest and enjoy what the immediate future has prepared for you. I send you a warm and strong hug and may the successes and blessings continue 🙏❤️... You Absolutely Rockkkkk!!! 👊😎🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️🌟🍻💥💫💯
Plácido Domingo, fotos, Poliedro de Caracas y canto con él... qué más se le puede pedir a la vida? Jhoxi y tú se ven muy contentos hermano, es genial un cierre tan magnífico de fin de semana, creo que tus memorias musicales deben ser escritas algún día a partir de lo que nos traes a Hive, eso será algo muy valioso sobre todo para ti, porque debes sentirte muy orgulloso de donde estás, del recorrido que has hecho y hacia donde te diriges 🤜🤛
Me encantaron cada una de las fotos, es sentir que estaba ahí viviendo eso con ustedes y ver el Poliedro así de brutal por dentro me trajo mucha emoción y nostalgia ya que muchas veces fui ahí y es que ese lugar es muy anhelado por cualquier artista venezolano principalmente.
Qué viaje, qué experiencias, qué momentos tan hermosos quedarán en tu mente, te felicito mi hermano y a Jhoxi también, merecen vivir esto al máximo y disfrutar lo que el futuro inmediato les tiene preparado. Les mando un cálido y fuerte abrazo y que sigan los éxitos y las bendiciones 🙏❤️... You Absolutely Rockkkk!!! 👊😎🔥🎙️🎸🎶❤️🌟🍻💥💫💯
Happy day, brother. I look at my life in retrospect and it has crossed my mind what you say, auqnue without realizing it Hive has become that site where I am leaving my story captured. I've gone from making music for years to simply writing about my day to day with a lot of passion and with many photographs to accompany, in fact I realized last month that I hardly published anything on facebook or instagram, everything was here on Hive, but little by little I will be resuming.
The best thing brother is that better things are to come in the work field, I am very committed to myself, I don't know how I can do everything at the same time, I hope I am not neglecting something without realizing it. One arm baby!...
How wonderful ... how wonderful for you!
Hey Sis! Thank you 😘 I'm still very happy!...
Let me ask you, after spending hours with him, were you able to eat that very night or you just went to bed well fulfilled having spent your day with him? Am asking because it once happened to me and that very day, I didn't even remember to eat because of how excited I was.

This must be a really great one and experience for you, i love seeing you going places and talk about them it is always an inspiration for me to get to a better place
Thanks bro, I read you and I tell you that I feel the same way about many people, it's nice to be inspired by others; for example I admire a lot the amount of instruments you play, besides your singing, I try, but being an adult and with so much work is more complicated to learn hehehe. This made me very happy, I'm glad I shared it with you through this post...
Always a thing of joy for me everytime. You are really doing great
What a luxury and what a privilege, when I read that you sang with Placido Domingo.... I died, how spectacular.
He's doing very well at his age and he's a genius in his field. Your face of happiness is incredible.
How happy I am, very happy!
A great and fabulous experience. Thank you for sharing it @jesuslnrs ❤️
Hi, thank you! I would have loved to share a video, but they are all very short and some are not good quality, I was not so prepared because in a way I was in work mode, and the best I have left we can not share it on social networks because it is from the rehearsals, but well, the important thing is that I could share my feelings of joy of this remarkable experience. For us singers it is a privilege to enjoy this legend, besides being an example of life for everyone. I will always be grateful for this and excited to share it with good friends of Hive...
Meeting him has been a real honour and the best of the experience is in your heart, that's the most important thing.
It's always a big fun when you are around those you love and doing what you love doing the most.
That's right, and over time I have learned to surround myself with what I want for my life and the right people. Everything is a learning process, bro. Thanks for reading my post...
Yeah, you are very correct about that.. That's why there is a saying that always be within your tribe, Which means those that have the same motive and goals like you and those that bring out the good in you. Then we can achieve more
That third photo says more than a thousand words 😍
What a humble man Placido Domingo is and how happy you both look next to him, who wouldn't be, having the honor of being next to such an icon of music? hehe
The pictures one more beautiful than the other and that stage uff, it gave me a lot of emotion just to see it 😲
My congratulations to all of you for such a great moment that will remain in your memories forever, and why not to repeat it once again hehehe.
I can tell that your smile is sincere and full of zest for life ❤️
We were very happy, he is an idol and example for us and I feel we got more than we expected from him. I wish this event would happen again, meanwhile we thank life for having been part of his last visit to Venezuela and we keep this memory in our minds and hearts, and also here in Hive hehe...
That's the beauty of music, it allows us to materialize our dreams. This was a great experience and I am sure you will live more magical moments like this one.
It has been a great pleasure to be part of this experience through your post my dear friend.
My sister, I hope you are well, I have hardly read you lately until today when you appear in the Open. I came to think that the beers had knocked you out hahaha. I love you very much dear friend, thank you very much for your love!.
Thanks to you my brother!. I thought long and hard about the ideal community for this post, but it was definitely quite a weekend experience, I'm on the right site...
Any and all weekend experiences are welcome here. I also asked a couple of my friends and my brother to give this post some vote-love. It was a good one.
Thank you very much brother, right now I am very focused on increasing my voting power and achieving the Power Up Month badge, all help is valuable to me and I get a lot of inspiration when I write my posts. Thanks a lot 🙏
