What Roles and Repertoire Are Documented on Plácido Domingo's Website?

Updated

Plácido Domingo's official site, placidodomingo.com, documents his repertoire as encompassing more than 150 roles, with over 4,000 career performances. The site's navigation includes both a Catalogue section and a Roles section, which are the two places to look for this material. The site describes him as a singer, conductor, and administrator, so the documented repertoire sits alongside his conducting and administrative work rather than being the only content on the site.

Where the repertoire information lives

The homepage navigation lists these relevant entries:

  • Catalogue — a section for his recorded or published output
  • Roles — a section for the characters he has performed
  • Career — broader biographical and professional history
  • Calendar — upcoming and scheduled performances

If you want the role list specifically, Roles is the direct entry point. If you want the wider body of work, Catalogue and Career cover it.

What the site states about the repertoire

The biography text on the homepage gives the two headline figures:

Item Figure stated on site
Roles in repertoire More than 150
Career performances Over 4,000

It also describes him as "one of the finest and most influential singing actors in the history of opera," and notes that his repertoire spans opera and other vocal works. The site does not, on the homepage, break the 150+ roles down by opera, composer, or date — that level of detail would sit inside the Roles or Catalogue sections.

How to use the site to check a specific role

  1. Open placidodomingo.com.
  2. Go to Roles in the main navigation.
  3. Look for the role or opera you have in mind.
  4. Cross-check the Calendar section if you want to know whether that role is currently being performed.

Expected result: you either find the role listed, or you don't — the site presents the repertoire as a fixed documented set rather than a searchable database with filters, based on the homepage structure.

Practical caveats

  • The homepage is a summary layer. The 150+ roles and 4,000+ performances are stated as totals, not itemized there.
  • The site also covers conducting, administration, awards, and news, so not every page under Catalogue or Roles is about singing roles.
  • Upcoming performances are listed separately under Calendar, with entries such as a gala concert in Yerevan, Armenia (October 16, 2026), a gala concert in Copenhagen, Denmark (October 20, 2026), and a recital in Neuchâtel, Switzerland (November 24, 2026). These are future dates, not a record of past roles.

If your question is "how many roles does the site document," the answer is the figure the site itself gives: more than 150. If your question is "which specific roles," the Roles section is where that detail is meant to be found.
