In 'My First Forty Years',Domingo -as generous,open,and perceptive as his singing is glorious - gives us a totally personal book about the public side of his life: a bouyant account of his development as an artist,as well as a wide range of his ideas and opinions on everything
from zarzuela singing and the tenors of the past to digital recording and the (high) price of opera tickets.
Continues with the story of his family, his amazing career,and his plans for the future.
