Four decades into a legendary Met career, tenor Plácido Domingo makes history singing the title role in Verdi’s gripping political thriller, which is written for a baritone.

n KNOWN as Father’s Footsteps when released in the US, Comme Ton Pere is the offering at The Phoenix on Wednesday.

Felix, Mireille, and their two children, Eric and Michel, arrive in Marseilles. A few years later, barely settled in Belleville, Felix meets Serge, a local sponsor with whom he makes friends. Serge leads Felix on the path to organised crime. A dispute with the police causes Felix to take responsibility for a crime done by Serge, landing him in jail. Mireille is ashamed and tells her children that their father has returned to Israel to fight.
