the industry. Of his decision to make Liverpool his home, Domingo, 42, said: "I
find myself in a fantastic city where I feel very comfortable to be here and work
here.
"My decision was made on various positive points - first of all, of course, the
importance of the orchestra internationally, the legacy, with fantastic recordings,
great conductors. Then the city; a wonderful city, [an] international city with a
fantastic sport life and cultural life.

"Also, all the projects around the orchestra. The organisation is part of children's
education with In Harmony with the youth orchestra, there is also a choir… and
ultimately of course, the contact and chemistry of the orchestra itself."

Park" (Image: Chris Christodoulou/press handout)

The orchestra boasts composers from all over the world, including talented
musicians from England, Germany, France, South America and more. Domingo is
keen for locals and residents alike to see that, insisting the Grade II listed venue
has "something for everyone".

He continued: "We have music to reflect, we have music to dance, we have music
to smile, to cry, and this is a place that is open to everybody. The more that we

are here, a fantastic community, the more powerful the city is. This should be -
and it is already - but it should be as powerful as Anfield or Goodison Park."
