Plácido Domingo Tickets

One of the best concerts I've ever been to. There are better conductors than Domingo, but he's Placido Domingo - he can do whatever he wants. Yo Yo Ma has no peer today. His playing of the Dvorak Cello Concerto was sublime and thrilling at the same time. Great stuff, even for music really better in a more intimate setting. I found myself watching the big TV screen because it was a bigger, better picture than my binoculars. Essentially it was like sitting outdoors and watching "Great Performances" on PBS But then I'd look back at the stage and realize what a privilege it is to be able to hear talent like this in person, no matter the venue. Tchaikovsky 5 was the second part of the concert after intermission. A very familiar "Chestnut", but perfect for a summer night concert. The orchestra sounded great, but the nitwits who clap between movements and whistle and shout sounded less great. Mid week Hollywood Bowl Sellout! Only downside was the crowd. Had to join 18,000 of my closest friends, but it was worth it.

beautiful rendition of dvorak cello conerto. this is the most beautiful of all cello concertos.

To be able to attend an event with such a huge musicians with my whole family, including my nine year old son, for little money, was great. The ticket was really affordable, and the show was unforgettable.

Very disappointed Placido did not sing. Yo Yo Ma very, very good.

The only reason I said that I would have recommended this concert is because of Yo Yo Ma, what an incredible artist, they should have brought him on the 2nd part of the show. Everyone was waiting for Mr. Domingo to sing, they did not bill this show or advertise that he would be conducting all night. Some of the musical selections were beautiful, some were very bland. Matter of fact, it droned on and on and I memorized one of pieces before it was even over, thats how repetitive it was. No excitement in this one. It was very dissapointing to say the least. I thought for sure Mr. Domingo would at least sing another song at the end of the program, when he did sing, it was an aria in French, not my favorite language. I kept feeling that Mr. Domingo was trying to impress us with his musical genius, nobody can deny that, but we want to be entertained. Most people in the audience were asleep, probably from all the wine that was consumed, which we could hear the bottles falling all nite.

Although it was not the best Dvorak concerto of Yo-Yo Ma's, he and Domingo were both entertaining, charming, and generous as usual, giving us two encores. Hollywood Bowl's sound system was so poor that we heard a lot of disturbing sounds such as frictions of clothes of the soloist at the cost of music, especially wood winds. Flutes and Bassoons were hid in the overwhelmingly enlarged solo and string sounds probably because too many microphones were set in the front. But the most disturbing factor was the audience. Not just applauding after every movement, they applauded in the middle of a movement. I prefer watching Ma's Dvorak on YouTube to going all the way to Hollywood Bowl, They should do something about the parking, too.

They were wonderful.. the two artists looked like they thouroughly enjoyed the night and and entertaining the audience... Only downside, traffic was horrible, I wish the traffic police would extend the street closures.. many people came in late, up to the intermission...

Brought my Aunt from Canada to hear Placido Domingo sing and Yo Yo Ma play. How did I miss the fine print, or was there any? Placido sang only one song! We weren't the only people shocked...people sitting next to us wondered the same thing.... how they missed the detail that Placido Domingo was conducting the La Phil. The music was lovely, the night memorable, but to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't have purchased tickets had I known that Placido was Not going to sing more.

Amazing performance by two legends! Yo Yo Ma made me want to pick up my cello again. He is such an inspiring performer. Although not advertised, I was so happy to see Placido sing as well!

The performance was wonderful. Yo-Yo Ma and Placido played well off of each other. After a solo by Yo-Yo Ma, Placido came back out and surprised us all. He sang while Yo-Yo Ma performed! One of the best performances I've seen at the Bowl.

Very fun evening! Shuttle there was great. A few problems leaving the event. It has to do with the venue exits, however. Absolutely loved Yo Yo Ma!!! I have his smile permanently etched in my heart! I loved Placido Domingo singing with Yo Yo Ma!! That was a highlight! Placido Domingo was awesome conducting. I only wish he would have sung more! It needed to be advertised different so we weren't disappointed. The second half needed that highlight.

Yo-Yo-Ma is brilliant and I could have listened to him all night. Unfortunately he only played in the first half. Not enough for being a headliner. Placido spent his whole evenng conducting the LA Philharmonic and it became a little sleepy. Placido Domingo and Yo-Yo-Ma did one duet together . I was hoping for more of Placido Domingo's beautiful voice. Not what I expected. Overall I was disappointed.

If you managed to battle through the traffic and made it to the hollywood bowl last night, you are one of the lucky ones on this planet. Domingo conducting one of the greatest concertos written, played by one of the greatest cellists ever, was extraordinary. Ma played with guts and held nothing back, and the joy on his face while he and Domingo wove the orchestra through moments of grace left me in awe of their superhuman talent. Oh, and the two encores? Did I mention their duet? What a rare feast for the senses,

it was an amazing performance. the ambiance wasn't as great. i would have liked it alot better if people weren't eating and talking all night long. But the performance and acustics were just stunning
