Aha! Finally worked it out. They are talking about people recording on their mobile devices during a performance and posting it on Twitter or something the next day. The interviewer told him that Domingo had said this was the difference between performing nowadays that everyone all over the world would hear what your tone had been like. Jonas was more or less saying that it was something you had to get used to - all the camera flashes and that you just have to live with the pressure. He said it happened to every singer in opera houses all over the world and wasn't just happening to him. He said that it was important to keep yourself above the pain level otherwise you expose yourself to some kind of hostility and bashing. He said that it is true that this is really difficult but can't be changed as you can't invent any kind of device that would go against a cell phone chip and best it. He said that you can't try to suppress them but must stay calm and leave them alone. I think it must be awful for singers. If I were in an opera audience I would just not do it. I might film the applause at the end but the performance itself? Never.
This is just a guess. He forgot the words to Nessun dorma at La Scala and the guy is asking him about it. No prompter in a concert. He answers at length as he always does. Anywhere you go the audience knows the opera as well as you do.
Oh this is fun, isn't it? 😂 Right so twitter, Placido Domingo and Jonas Kaufmann. No, I've not got a hope of understanding that! It sounds like a hotbed of gossip to me so I think I'll pass on this one. 😂😂.

No,they don't talk about the Scala concert. They talk about other things like Twitter etc.
