World renowned Spanish tenor Placido Domingo, currently in Yerevan within the framework of Yerevan Perspectives Festival, said that he is familiar with Armenians from his childhood.

“The teacher, who gave lessons of music to my mother in Paris, was Armenian,” Domingo told a press conference in Yerevan.

The singer added that he has many Armenian friends – Charles Aznavour, Levon Sayan and others.

During the December 3 concert, Armenian musicians – opera singer, People’s Artist of Armenia Barsegh Tumanyan and singer Rosy Svazlian (soprano) – will take the stage with Domingo.

“I and my group will spare no efforts so that the Armenian audience enjoys tomorrow’s concert,” Domingo said, adding that he will do his utmost for other renowned musicians’ arrival in Armenia to give concerts within the framework of Yerevan Perspectives Festival.
