Opera star Placido Domingo resigns as general director of the Los Angeles Opera following multiple allegations from women who say he sexually harassed them there and at opera companies around the country over a period of decades.
in the wake of the AP stories.
Wulf and other accusers have said they spoke up because they felt shining a light on Domingo’s behavior could help stop misconduct across the industry. For years, Domingo has been the opera world's most bankable star, with the celebrity power to fill seats in an era of dwindling ticket sales. Over time, he also widened his portfolio, becoming a prolific conductor and powerful administrator as the general director of two major American companies, first at Washington Opera and later at LA Opera, where he served as an artistic consultant from 1984 to 2000, artistic director from 2000 to 2003 and, finally, general director from 2003 until now.
"This has been a painful and challenging period for all of us," Koelsch wrote in the email."But it is also engendering difficult, and productive, conversations that I believe will ultimately prove critical in strengthening and improving the company."
