About Us

XXI Century Records, founded by Plácido Domingo, is an innovative record label that brings together world-class musicians and passionate enthusiasts through inspired artistic partnerships dedicated to honoring and sustaining the tradition of great operatic vocal music.

We create recordings that embody uncompromising quality, bringing together the finest vocal performers who share a deep appreciation for this music. Every project reflects a commitment to excellence rooted in tradition, driven by innovation, and guided by a belief in music's power to inspire and bring people together across generations.

Our vision is to ensure opera's great tradition continues to flourish by building a community that connects world-class artists directly with listeners, creating a lasting legacy for this art form.

What sets us apart is our commitment to capturing the full scope of the artistic process—from first rehearsal to final release. We document and preserve the creative journey itself, creating invaluable historical records that serve as both inspiration for today's listeners and cultural preservation for future generations of artists and enthusiasts.
