DENVER, Aug. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Fathom Events is
celebrating the illustrious half-century long career of beloved
Maestro Plácido Domingo by bringing his operatic talents to
movie theaters across the country on September 7 only. Domingo made his stage debut in
Italy and at the Arena di Verona
during the summer of 1969, singing the role of Calaf in Puccini's
"Turandot" and the title role in Giuseppe
Verdi's "Don Carlo." Fifty
years later, he returns to the Arena di Verona for an operatic gala
event, which will screen in movie theaters nationwide and include
three operas with grand baritone parts: Verdi's "Nabucco,"
"Macbeth" and "Simon Boccanegra."
Tickets for "Plácido Domingo
Gala" are available at www.FathomEvents.com and
participating theater box offices.
Presented by Fathom Events, this special one-time event will
screen in more than 500 movie theaters nationwide on
Saturday, September 7 at 12:55 p.m. local time, through Fathom's Digital
Broadcast Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater locations,

"Plácido Domingo Gala"
celebrates the historic talents of one of the greatest singers in
the world, who has had an international career as a tenor,
baritone, orchestra conductor, general manager and mentor of young
talents. Domingo has starred in over 150 operatic roles, conducted
over 500 opera performances and won a sensational 11 Grammy Awards.
His iconic performances alongside Luciano Pavarotti and José
Carreras as one of the Three Tenors, the legendary Plácido Domingo
continues to astound audiences with a vocal talent unmatched in
power.
The live performance from the Arena di Verona also strengthens
Domingo's deep bond with the Verona amphitheatre's Opera Festival,
50 years after his debut on the world's largest stage. Arena Di
Verona Amphitheatre is an ancient roman opera venue set in the
beautiful Piazza Bra. Opened in 30AD, the arena has been at the
heart of Italian entertainment for almost 2000 years.
Accompanied by the incredible Orchestra of the Arena Di Verona
and conducted by Jordi Bernàcer, Domingo will be joined on stage by
fellow renowned opera stars including Anna
Pirozzi, Arturo Chacón-Cruz, Marko
Mimica and Géraldine Chauvet.
"We are thrilled to give U.S. audiences the exclusive
opportunity to experience Plácido Domingo's gifts as he performs
from the Arena di Verona," said Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt. "Our large fanbase of classical music
lovers will be able to come together in movie theaters to celebrate
the career of one of opera's most beloved voices."
