Tamerlano will see Placido Domingo sing on stage at Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu.

BARCELONA, SPAIN, July 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu welcomes one of the most famous voices in world opera later this summer, as Placido Domingo is set to star in a production of Georg Friedrich Handel's Tamerlano.

The Spanish-Mexican was one of the celebrated Three Tenors alongside Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras and has been performing professionally for more than 50 years.

He will be joined on stage by Bejun Mehta, Max Emanuel Cencic and Sarah Fox among others for the Barcelona shows, which will take place on July 6th and 9th.

In a statement, the venue said: "The plot focuses on a theme dealt with by many coetaneous operas and plays: the defeat and imprisonment of the Ottoman sultan Bayezid by the great Turkish-Mongol warrior Tamerlane, a descendant of Genghis Khan."

It is a three-act opera with a libretto by Nicola Francesco Haym and music from Handel.

The performance begins at 20:00 local time on both dates and lasts for more than four hours including intervals.

Tickets are available online. Many of the cheaper seats are sold out, with the most affordable passes priced at EUR66 (GBP59.30).
