London
(ANI):
Tenor
Placido
Domingo
says
the
pressures
of
the
modern
theatre
force
directors
to
cast
many
opera
singers
as
characters
for
which
they
have
little
natural
ability.
"There
are
many,
many,
many
more
theatres
around
the
world,
so
the
needs,
the
variety
of
repertoire
is
tremendous," The
Telegraph
quoted
him,
as
saying.
Domingo
added:
"The
directors
of
the
theatres,
they
don't
care.
They
need
an
artist,
and
if
one
of
the
characters
gets
sick
they
just
get
another."
"Probably
the
voice
is
not
for
the
piece
but
they
have
to
do
it,"
he
told
BBC
Radio
4's
Today
programme.
