It was in August that allegations of sexual harassment were publicly directed against the opera star Plácido Domingo. According to a review by the AP News Agency, Domingo had exposed several female colleagues to unwelcome and repeated sexual encounters.

After the investigation, more women came forward with testimonies of abuse, including Domingo's former colleague, soprano Angela Turner Wilson.

Nina Stemme tells us that she got to know Plácido Domingo during the 90s when she won the first edition of Operalia, a prestigious opera competition started by the well-known tenor.

- I got to know him in the 90's when I won the first Operalia competition in 1993. He was very supportive. He was a Latin, a Spaniard and he looked at him like women, and they saw women like him. I have only experienced that he has supported young singers' careers, he has not used his position there, says Nina Stemme.

Voice: Completely unforgivable

In the suites of the charges, several opera houses canceled Plácido Domingo's participation and in October he resigned as director of the Los Angeles Opera - an institution he himself founded in the late 1980s. Plácido Domingo has consistently denied any allegations of sexual harassment.

- It is clear that I believe in the women even if they were forced to remain anonymous. All such documents are completely unforgivable, says Nina Stemme and continues:

- I can say that I have not been exposed to him. And I think it's really important to say that. Simply stop my body.
