Goya: A Life in Song is amusical theatre work with music and lyrics by American composerMaury Yeston, first released as aconcept album in 1989 featuring SpanishtenorPlácido Domingo. Domingo released the Spanish-language version of the albumGoya: Una vida hecha canción in 1992.

Prior to the album's release, theGoya love theme "Till I Loved You" became a hit single forBarbra Streisand in 1988.

Popularopera singerPlácido Domingo was interested in starring in a stage musical about Spanish painterFrancisco de Goya and suggested to producer Alan Carr that Yeston would be the right person to create the vehicle, since Domingo had admired Yeston's work on the musicalNine. Because of Domingo's time commitments, however, the musical was made as a concept album.^[2]

Domingo sang the role of Goya, with supporting roles sung byDionne Warwick,Gloria Estefan,Jennifer Rush (who sang Warwick's parts in the European release of this album),Joe Cerisano,Richie Havens andSeiko Matsuda (who sang Dionne's parts in the Japan-only release version of this album).^[3] The recording was released by CBS/Sony. Not available for 20 years,Masterworks Broadway released a digitally remastered version of the album on September 28, 2010.

The score featured the break-out song "Till I Loved You", which was recorded by Domingo with singerJennifer Rush and became a hit in Europe. Domingo and Gloria Estefan recorded "Hasta amarte" for the Spanish-languageGoya: Una vida hecha canción, which reached #8 on theBillboard chart forHot Latin Songs.^[4] The Brazilian edition of the album included a Portuguese version of "Till I Loved You" (Apaixonou) by Domingo andSimone Bittencourt de Oliveira.
