Placido Domingo’s ‘joy’ after cancer treatment
April 14th, 2010 - 6:39 pm ICT by ANILondon, April 14 (ANI): Spanish tenor Placido Domingo has said that he is very happy to be signing again on stage after undergoing colon cancer surgery.
“The joy at returning to Milan is immense,” the BBC quoted Domingo, 69, as saying.
He will sing in Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala for six shows opening on Friday.
Domingo is now suggesting people to undergo regular screenings of colon cancer as its one of the biggest cause of deaths in US.
“I, evidently, hadn’t done it. I thought I would do it after these shows at La Scala. Now I insist when I talk to anyone, I recommend to do the exam,” he said.
“It takes about half an hour. If all goes well, in half a day, you are finished and nothing will happen. This is a point I want to make to everyone,” he added. (ANI)
