The part of the main character was played by Placido Domingo.
The applause lasted one hour and twenty minutes.

If you were to applaud during the film THE LORD OF THE RING – THE COMMUNITY you would be aplauding until the scene where Boromir, the first born child of Gondor, Denethor II and the Finduilas of Dol Amroth, find the broken sword that cut the ring from Sauron’s finger.
If you were to applaud during the film THE LORD OF THE RING – THE TWO TOWERS, you would be applauding until the moment Theoden, King of Rojan, the son of Thengel and Morwen has just been set free from the spell that his adviser Griman, a faithful follower of Saruman, had put on him. The King is about to kill him but Aragon stops him saying: “Don’t my lord, don’t. Let him go, you have enough blood in your account”.

Biography and career.


Vicente Arlandis was born in Alcoi (Alicante) to Vicente Arlandiz, a toy factory worker and to Dolores recuerda Lara, a doll sewer and housewife.


To his family, he is known as “the artist” due to his love of the world of Art and Stage. In 1986 he enrolled into type writing classes where he received his diploma with 286 keystrokes per minute. Since he was very young he had problems with his first surname Arlandis. It was often misunderstood with Alrlandiz, Arnandis, Armendis, Arcandis, Hernandez, etc. At the age of 28 he realized it was a common problem in his family. At present, after years of trying to rectify the problem; his younger sister and father have the surname Arlandiz instead of Arlandis in their I.D. cards. This is an error that has divided the family, at least in legal registration terms.


In 1988 he started high school where he met his first girlfriend Carolina Gisbert. They had a short relationship and after three months of happiness she left him for another boy who was two years older than Vicente.


In 1994 his father was unjustly accused and jailed for murder and robbery, a fact that marked Vicente deeply. That same year he began his studies at the ESAD (Drama School of Valencia) where he met Esther Mayo with whom he would live four and a half years.


Upon completion of his studies in 2000, he met Sandra Gomez de la Torre with whom he has been living with ever since.
In 1985, together with his cousins, Jose Recuerda, Elvira recuerda and his sister Eva Vanesa Arlandiz, he won third prize on the Payback Contest of his town Ibi thanks to his performance of the song “Adelita” (by Nat King Cole).
