It's a great day for opera's "No $h^t Sherlock" quotes: Placido Domingo gets all self-analytical with the Associated Press. ‘‘The voice is a mystery, you know? It puzzles me why I am still
singing’’.
And in a delicious performance of the art of understatement, Gramophone editor James Inverne points out:
‘‘Some of the sheen in his voice is starting to wear away’.
Oh noes! Who cares, we *heart* U Signor Domingo! And when that sheen begins to really fall off, just start a new career as opera's first mime! Placido 4evah!
