With nearly four decades of experience ranging from stage manager to production and even direction, Domingo’s résumé reads like a veritable Who’s Who, having worked with some of the worlds’ most famous artists and biggest stage productions.
From the Nico Malan (Artscape) to Sun City and the Superbowl, Rome and even the Royal Variety Show at the Royal Albert Hall, London, Domingo has been responsible for training and leading large teams of professionals to go beyond their best. Domingo enjoys rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in. The show must go on and he thrives on overseeing operations making sure all health and safety procedures are in place and his ability to lead from the front, and easy imparting of his vast knowledge ensures that both crew and guests all get the most out of the experience.
A passionate and frequent golfer, this family man, has a drive for excellence in all areas of his life. But it is in his giving back, that the true measure of this gentleman is found. A visit to his office will see the walls lined with art from the many children and projects he has been involved in over the years. Domingo makes certain that each of the events he works on includes some measure of return to the future of our nation. It is not so much a desire but a full-hearted commitment to an industry to which he has dedicated much of his life.
