LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Spanish opera tenor Placido Domingo has been admitted to a Madrid hospital after suffering a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in his lung, his U.S. publicist said on Tuesday.

Domingo, 72, was hospitalized on Monday in his hometown and is expected to make a full recovery in about three to four weeks, publicist Nancy Seltzer said.

"He's doing very well and responding very well to treatment," Seltzer said.

Domingo, who also serves as the general director of the Los Angeles Opera, is expected to drop out of an upcoming opera performance in Madrid, she said.
