Plácido Domingo acted "inappropriately" with several of his professional colleagues during the 33 years of working relationship with the Los Angeles Opera , the organization from which a good number of sexual harassment accusations against the Spanish tenor came out. It is the main conclusion of the investigation commissioned by the institution in the wake of the scandal and that closes even more the doors to Sunday in the United States .

The law firm in charge of the process, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, found "credible" the testimonies of the 10 accusations against the singer , "partly because of the similarities in his stories." The report speaks of different levels of "discomfort," from which they said they felt "uncomfortable" to other colleagues to situations of trauma. "Some people said they feel self-conscious about denouncing the misconduct due to the importance and significance of Mr. Domingo."

However, the investigation exempts the Spanish tenor of the accusations of vendetta against him . There is no evidence that there were quid pro quo situations or that he decided not to hire a woman in revenge for not having wanted to maintain relations with him.

At the same time, he explains that the tenor from Madrid collaborated at all times with the process and that he granted an interview to the team of researchers of Gibson Dunn. Domingo claimed that all of his interactions were consented and did not touch anyone without prior permission. The lawyers, meanwhile, interpreted the singer's responses as sincere in some cases and in others "less credible" or unconscious.

It has not been a simple process. A total of 44 people were interviewed, including those who accused the tenor of sexual harassment. In addition, half a million documents were collected and several thousand were reviewed with accusations against the former director of the Californian Opera.
