Domingo in 'Nabucco'

Placido Domingo may have become famous as one of the Three Tenors, but when he's onstage these days, it's usually as a baritone. The singer added another lower-register leading man to his repertoire this season when he stepped into the title role of Verdi's "Nabucco" at the Metropolitan Opera. His final performance, conducted by James Levine, will be broadcast live in HD at two Twin Cities movie theaters Saturday. (11:55 a.m. Sat., AMC Rosedale and Showplace Icon, $19-$24, fathomevents.com)
