Rolando Villazón, Winner of the Second, Zarzuela and Audience Prizes in Operalia 1999, is featured in the online magazine The Talks

“The first thing about opera that I fell in love with was the voice of Placido Domingo — but through his love songs, the crossover albums that he recorded, not his opera albums. I became such fan of his voice. It wasn’t until much later when I was 18 that a baritone, the father of one of my classmates, asked me about opera. And I said, “What’s that?” (Laughs) He started introducing me to everything: you like Domingo? Let me show you. The first thing he showed me was Domingo’s “E Lucevan le Stelle” from Tosca, and I thought it was so amazing.”
