Plácido Domingo “As a singer and conductor, hearing is for me
the most important thing in my life. Singing and conducting – both
things are impossible, if your ears are not in shape. I am very
enthusiastic about Hear the World, because people need to understand how valuable good hearing is! Music is nothing if no one can hear it.”
