“We would like to take this opportunity to confirm that we have not received any allegations of misconduct concerning Maestro Domingo during his time with us. We understand the reasons behind his decision to withdraw from the show, ”it says in a statement.
Over 20 women have accused Plácido Domingo of sexual harassment. The abuse must have been going on for several decades. The charges became known in August last year and led him to resign as Los Angeles Opera director and resign from all upcoming appearances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
The Spanish Ministry of Culture has suspended his participation in two performances. Domingo has withdrawn from La Traviata in Madrid himself, and the prestigious Spanish Ubeda festival has also announced that they are suspending Domingo's participation this year.
