- 13 September 2024 - Building on its commitment to enhance Macau's
status as a vibrant international metropolis, Galaxy Macau™ continues
its mission to bring unique global events to the city with the
announcement of 'Galaxy Opera Gala', a once-in-a-lifetime opera
extravaganza featuring legendary Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo. Taking
place at the state-of-the-art Galaxy International Convention Center
(GICC) on October 20, 2024, the event will see the iconic opera singer
teaming up with the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra and three rising talents
for a musical celebration that bridges cultures while underlining
Macau's status as a "City of Performing Arts".
Hosted by Galaxy Macau and sponsored by ICBC (Macau) as the designated
bank partner, this opera gala will feature Plácido Domingo, who will be
making his debut at the Galaxy International Convention Center,
delivering a world-class opera experience to Macau.
Recognized as one of the finest and most influential singing actors in
the history of opera, Plácido Domingo was catapulted to global
superstardom as one third of the famed "Three Tenors" alongside Luciano
Pavarotti and José Carreras in the 1990s, while he has also carved out a
distinguished reputation as a conductor and opera administrator. The
winner of 12 Grammy Awards, among countless other accolades, the
83-year-old maestro has a repertoire that spans more than 150 roles
across over 4,000 career performances, and has been celebrated at the
Operas of New York, Vienna, Verona, Milan, Buenos Aires, and many more.
Accompanying Plácido Domingo will be the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra,
one of China's most celebrated symphony orchestras, and trailblazing
Italian conductor Beatrice Venezi, who is Principal Conductor of the
Orchestra Milano Classica and of the Orchestra Scarlatti Young, Naples.
Completing the bill are two exciting rising stars of the opera world:
China-born, Italy-based soprano Bingbing Wang, who holds the distinction
of being the first Chinese person to graduate with a Master's Degree
from the prestigious Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Music in Milan; and
Italian-German mezzo-soprano Anna-Doris Capitelli, who joined the
illustrious Accademia Teatro alla Scala in Milan in 2017. Guests will be
able to enjoy a program that includes arias and duets from famous
operas such as La Traviata, The Merry Widow, The Marriage of Figaro,
Carmen, and more.
Combining musical virtuosity, timeless melodies and state-of-the-art
audio technology, the event will take place at GICC, which opened in
December 2023. Marking a new chapter for Macau's exhibition industry and
expanding Galaxy Entertainment Group's resort landscape in the region,
GICC is a world-class venue complex boasting a total exhibition space of
40,000 square meters, accommodating up to 8,500 guests for banquet
events or approximately 16,000 for cocktail receptions. The center
features a 10,000-square-meter column-free exhibition hall on the ground
floor, hosting up to 7,000 exhibition guests, or nearly 6,500 for
