(In 1968 Domingo made his debut in Adriana Lecouvreur, Pavarotti in La Boheme.) The Met's jubilee sounds like an inspired negotiation. Domingo, who lately has been turning to the German repertory, will lead off singing the first act of Die Walkure. Then comes Pavarotti in the first act of Otello, new for him, though...
