Experience Domingo Perform Live On GMN.com

Global Music Network (http://www.gmn.com), the Internet's premier site for complete live performances of classical, opera, and jazz, will webcast an exclusive recording of Plácido Domingo and Violeta Urman, in Act 2 of Wagner's Parsifal, conducted by Valery Gergiev at The Mariinsky Theatre, St Petersburg.

Plácido Domingo has said of this opera, "the more I looked at the score, the deeper I went into both the music and the drama. I knew I wanted to do it. . . . Parsifal is the most complicated work of Wagner's. It's not a long, long role but the difficulties of the score, musically are unbelievable, and it is mentally exhausting every moment that you are onstage"

"Just as with the role of Samson, Parsifal has been selected by God, and singing these parts gives me an intense spiritual emotion. Also Montsalvat is in Spain, in Catalonia, which gives me a special feeling about the role."

This recording took place during The White Nights Festival and celebrates both the remarkable work of The Kirov under Valery Gergiev and the beautiful city of St Petersburg in mid summer with its ‘white nights'.
