Roles

GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME: PLEASE CUT THE WHOLE PAGE TO 50%. THAT WOULD BE STILL BY FAR ENOUGH!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.212.153.88 (talk) 10:45, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Los Angeles Opera still spreads the lie that Domingo sang the most roles in opera history.
Domingo= 142 roles, more than any other!!! Wrong: Andreas Dippel, german Tenor, born in Kassel, died 1932, sang over 160 tenor roles. He sang at the MET from 1890 to 1908, even such roles as Cavaradossi.

In the time of the baroque there were singers that could sing up to 200 roles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.132.236.16 (talk) 13:05, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So please Domingo tell the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.223.6.223 (talk • contribs) 13:47, 5 April 2012‎

Dippel sang 400 performances in the MET within 18 years. Domingo 634 within 44 years. Caruso the king the kaiser of them all sang 863 times at the MET within 17 years!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.10.14.69 (talk) 10:51, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Number of ROLES is different from number of PERFORMANCES. Let's be clear on what we are talking about..... Viva-Verdi (talk) 00:31, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Infact Andreas Dippel, later co-director with Gatti-Casazzi at the MET sang 164 tenor roles. Whatever Domingo says german-born Dippel is the one that sang most tenor roles in the history of opera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.11.14.129 (talk • contribs) 13:22, 9 October 2015‎

- - Another lie? In his biographie Domingo states that he sang Cavaradossi in 1961. If his birthdate is right that is impossible. When 20 Domingo was still a baritone and apart from that nobody can sing Cavaradossi with 20. So again it seems that he was born in 1934. THAT IS MUCH MOCH LIKELY FOR HIS CAVARADOSSI IN 1961.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.212.145.134 (talk) 10:54, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

You can stop beating that particular dead horse. The article now simply states the number of roles and does not make any claim as to who had the most. The full list of Domingo's 147 operatic roles sung on stage is at Repertoire of Plácido Domingo. There is also a separate table there with an additional 21 roles sung in zarzuela, musicals, oratorio, and ones sung in the recording studio only. This latter table is still incomplete.

Caruso

+++Enrico Caruso the greatest opera singer of all times needs six lines for his introduction on the main page. Domingo instead a monstrous number of lines. Here you see that real greatness is modest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.129.146.70 (talk) 09:53, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The great Maria Callas needs 14 lines. Domingo 22.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.11.121.212 (talk • contribs) 10:55, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The great Maria Callas needs 14 lines. Domingo 24. And most of what is stated does not belong to the introduction.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.212.219.38 (talk • contribs) 09:30, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is with the lede in the Enrico Caruso article which should be expanded, not this one. Note also that Caruso had a 25 year career, ending with his death at 48, while Domingo continues an active career at the age of 74 and has a career spanning over 50 years which entails more material in the lede. This has nothing whatsoever to do with Domingo's or Caruso's personal modesty or their greatness as singers. We all get that you don't like Domingo. You have been trolling this talk page since 2007 with your off-topic and inappropriate comments, and really it's getting very boring. This page is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. Further comments of this type will be archived on sight. Voceditenore (talk) 12:38, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
