repertoire however is Italian (

Tosca,
Don Carlo, Des Grieux in
Manon Lescaut, Dick Johnson in
La fanciulla del West, Radames in
Aida), French (
Faust,
Werther, Don José in
Carmen, Samson in
Samson et Dalila), and German (

Die Walküre). Domingo currently continues to add more operas to his repertoire. Since 2009, he has moved substantially into the baritone repertoire, especially focusing on Verdi baritone roles. In 2015, he made his most recent debuts as
Macbeth at the
Berliner Staatsoper, Don Carlo in
Ernani at the
Metropolitan Opera, and
