That is exactly what the world famous tenor Placido Domingo took after his performance as the Moor of Venice in Othello in Vienna in July 1991 to 30, making him the longest standing ovations ever recorded!

Plácido Domingo on time:

“I do not know what to do, you know go out, and the audience is still there. And you say,” Well, what? “And you come back, and you get a bit more to come next time. And you say:” I hope they go. “No, they continue. But it was a great, great experience, very exciting.”

Plácido Domingo (born January 21, 1941) is a famous Spanish opera singer. Although he started his career as a baritone in zarzuelas, he retrained as a tenor and quickly became well known for a voice that was versatile, powerful and possessed of a sound and clear tone throughout its range, its repertoire includes roles in French (Faust, Weather), German (Lohengrin, Parsifal), Italian (IL Trivet, Don Carlo, Othello), and Russian (Pique Dame). In recent years, Domingo has turned also to work hand to perform. Also, he was appointed artistic director of two opera companies, primarily the Washington Opera and later the Los Angeles Opera.

A standing ovation is a form of applause when the audience members seated stand up while applauding. This is done on special occasions by an audience to show their approval is after extraordinary performances of particularly large Acclaim. In ancient Rome returning military commanders (such as Marcus Licinius Crassus’s defeat of Spartacus) whose victory has not quite fulfilled the requirements of a triumph, but were still worthy of praise were celebrated with cheers instead in ovo Latin, “I am”. Using the word in English to refer to sustained standing ovation data from at least 1831.

Standing ovations are considered to be a special honour. Often it is used at the entrance or departure of a speaker or performer, where the audience members will continue the ovation until the ovated person leaves or begins their speech. Usually, when a critical mass of a small fraction of the audience stands up (perhaps one-fifth), the entire audience becomes compelled to stand as well.
