In a somewhat cryptic post on the Intermezzo Blog based in London:

“Imagine this. Stepping out of your cab, you pay the driver, John Berry. As you press your £800 ticket-chip to the Royal Opera House’s security portal, the doors glide open. You wonder how Placido Domingo’s first stab at Wotan will go tonight.  You are, in short, in 2016.”

In translation – Placido Domingo is reported to be under contract with Royal Opera House Covent Garden to sing Wotan in 2016. Domingo, born in 1941, will be 75 in 2016 and is currently singing baritone roles now. It seems that Domingo is not ready to say “Leb’ wohl” to the stage any time soon.
