Plácido Domingo, legendary tenor and Sing for Hope board member
Plácido Domingo, legendary tenor and Sing for Hope board member, is passionate about Sing for Hope’s mission of bringing the uplifting power of art to communities in need. Recognized as one of the finest and most influential singing actors in the history of opera, Maestro Domingo’s statistics speak for themselves:
- 134 roles (a number unmatched by any other tenor in history!)
- more than 3,500 career performances
- more than 100 recordings
- 12 Grammy Awards
- hundreds of telecasts, including a historic performance of Tosca seen by more than one billion people in 117 different countries
For Sing for Hope Co-Founding Directors Camille Zamora and Monica Yunus (both of whom have sung with Maestro Domingo at LA Opera and The Jordan Festival, respectively), the importance of his mentorship cannot be overstated.
“Having Maestro Domingo as one of our longest-term, most passionate board members means the world to the whole Sing for Hope team and continues to inform who we are as an organization,” says Camille. “His vote of confidence for Sing for Hope resonates far and wide, and, for a grassroots, artist-led organization, that means a lot.” Monica adds, “Maestro Domingo’s profound artistry, combined with his commitment to humanitarian outreach, embody the very essence of Sing for Hope.”

In the legendary tenor’s own words, “I am happy to have been a Sing for Hope board member from the very beginning. At Sing for Hope, we are painters, we are dancers, and, yes, we are opera singers. We are able to bring the arts to communities in need every day… and the arts stimulate the very qualities that make us human.”
Thank you and bravissimo, Maestro Domingo, for all you do for Sing for Hope and our communities!
