About Us

XXI Century Records, founded by Plácido Domingo, is both an innovative record label and a community of world-class musicians, performers, and passionate enthusiasts—united in their dedication to celebrating and preserving the legacy of great operatic vocal music.

We create recordings that embody uncompromising quality. Every project we undertake reflects the dedication to craft that has defined the greatest voices in history—a commitment to excellence that transcends performance and achieves true artistry.

We believe that great music lives not only in the concert hall, but also in the hearts and minds of those who experience it. That’s why we recognize listeners and supporters as active participants in the musical journey, offering meaningful opportunities for them to engage—should they choose to do so.

Beyond the recording, we document and preserve the creative process—from the first rehearsal to the final release. These documentaries of creation  serve both as inspiration for today’s listeners and as invaluable historical records for future generations of artists and fans.

We are committed to creating recordings that stand as a lasting cultural legacy—works that reflect the highest standards of artistic excellence. These projects are not only for audiences today, but for future generations, preserving the richness of our musical heritage for many years to come.
