PARIS – Celebrated tenor Placido Domingo on Tuesday dedicated upcoming Paris performances of "Il Postino" to the opera's late composer, Daniel Catan.
The Mexican composer died suddenly last April at age 62, and was found dead in bed in Austin, Texas. Domingo said with Catan's passing, the world has lost "an extraordinary man of the theater and I have lost a great friend."
Catan's death has turned rehearsals for "Il Postino" — which opens at Paris' Theatre du Chatelet on June 20 with a brief four performance run — into an emotional roller coaster.
