  • Bruckner Symphony No. 6 (Royal Liverpool Philharmonic)

    Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
    Feb 2026

    • This is how I felt in Hindoyan’s performance of the Sixth Symphony, not one of Bruckner’s most frequently performed but one that has its fervent supporters, evidently including Hindoyan. His conducting brought out the warmth of the music; it was as if he was caressing the orchestra in a loving, unhurried manner.

  • Carmen

    Zurich Opera
    Jan 2026

    • Conductor Domingo Hindoyan led the Zürich Opera Orchestra with a strong, confident hand, demonstrating perfect command over tempi and judicious, well-calibrated dynamics. His reading was composed and elegant.

  • La Boheme

    Paris Opera
    Sep 2025

    • Domingo Hindoyan's conducting brilliantly highlights the thematic development, the beauty of the orchestration, and the dramatic tension of Puccini's most intricate score, with the Paris Opera Orchestra performing at its best.

  • La Boheme

    Paris Opera
    Sep 2025

    • If there was a reason to applaud at the curtain, it was to acclaim Domingo Hindoyan, who makes us think that La Bohème would benefit from being more often considered a conductor's opera. He makes the abundant flow of Puccini's orchestra sing, giving importance to each of the melodic cells that intertwine with complexity, without neglecting any of the drama.

  • Turandot

    Opéra National du Rhin, Strasbourg
    Jun 2023

    • At the head of a committed orchestra and a valiant choir (Strasbourg and Dijon), Domingo Hindoyan proves to be a true theater conductor, but also restores the colors of the Puccinian orchestra, with beautiful atmospheres, particularly in the third act, Magnificent.

  • Mahler Symphony No. 4 (Royal Liverpool Philharmonic)

    Liverpool
    Sep 2022

    • The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic’s new concert season — the second with Domingo Hindoyan as chief conductor — couldn’t have got off to a more rousing start... the Sinfonietta, so vigorous, jagged and bright, took us far away from our mundane lives, echoing one of the remarks in the season booklet’s bouquet of enthusiastic blurbs: “When Hindoyan conducts the orchestra, every concert feels like a holiday"... the orchestra’s playing was so vivid and freshly nuanced that it was impossible to feel jaded... this was still a Mahler Fourth to remember. And when you’re planning your next holiday, do keep Hindoyan and Liverpool in mind.

  • Bruckner Symphony No. 8 (Royal Liverpool Philharmonic)

    Liverpool
    Jan 2022

    • The first striking thing about Domingo Hindoyan’s approach to this enormous titan of a symphony was the absence of a music stand or score in front of him. Few conductors can know this symphony well enough to conduct from memory, though the benefits quickly became apparent. Though vast in scale, much of the 80-minute symphony felt arrestingly intimate in dialogue between conductor and sections of his orchestra." This was Bruckner with all the requisite grandeur, but also an uncommon sense of freshness.

  • Debussy and Roussel (Royal Liverpool Philharmonic)

    Liverpool
    Jan 2022

    • Across the Pennines in Liverpool, the RLPO’s new chief conductor Domingo Hindoyan directed an all-French programme. This is his first season and we’re just starting to get a flavour of his tastes and enthusiasms, though any conductor who champions Messiaen’s Les Offrandes Oubliées, Debussy’s Jeux and Roussel’s chilly ballet Bacchus et Ariane is clearly not out for easy wins. These were focused, intelligent performances and in the Debussy, in particular, Hindoyan moved with economy and command, applying gauzy washes of atmosphere and brilliant dabs of colour. The RLPO is one of the few UK orchestras that gets to rehearse, for the most part, in its own concert hall, and nothing about its ensemble sound ever feels forced. They’re a fascinating match for a musical intellect as keen as Hindoyan’s, and of all the recent conductor signings at UK orchestras, this is the one that intrigues me the most.
