Domingo, 71, who has sung in the world's most prestigious opera houses from La Scala to the Metropolitan Opera and also conducts, will be recognized at a ceremony on November 21, UNESCO said. He was chosen for "his exceptional artistic career, his inestimable support for young opera musicians through the Operalia competition, and his dedication to the values and ideals of UNESCO," the body said in a statement. Also to be recognized on November 16 as a goodwill ambassador will be Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez, 39. Scheduled to attend the ceremony is Peruvian President Ollanta Humala. A virtuoso singing the bel canto arias of Rossini, Diego Florez is president of the social and education foundation, "El Sistema de Orquestas Infantiles y Juveniles del Peru," which develops youth orchestras and choruses targeted at underprivileged children. Goodwill ambassadors for UNESCO help focus attention on the cultural body's work in education, science, culture and communication.
