The Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo has retired from the Met Opera in New York a day before the planned premiere of Macbeth , the work with which the singer returned to an American stage after allegations of sexual harassment spilled by about twenty women, according to Your representative confirmed.
For its part, the institution said Sunday will not act again at the Met Opera after both parties reached an agreement on the need to depart from the organization, a decision that occurs after knowing that several of the employees were "furious "with the performance of the singer.
"Although I strongly reject the recent allegations against me, and I am concerned about a climate in which people are condemned without due process, after reflection I think that my appearance in this production of 'Macbeth' will detract attention from the hard work of my colleagues on stage and behind him, "said Domingo.
