Spain takes first European moves against Plácido Domingo

The union’s investigation was the first of two independent inquiries launched after multiple women accused Domingo of sexual harassment and abusing his power in two AP stories published last year. The second inquiry, still ongoing, was launched by LA Opera, where Domingo had been general director since 2003 before resigning in October.

“Until now the situation was different, there was a presumption of innocence,” said Rodríguez Uribes. “But since the moment he said that what happened did indeed happen, and given that this is a situation with serious events that affect many women, we have decided that it wasn’t appropriate to keep his presence and we informed him.”Domingo has long been one of Spain’s most popular and respected stars.

The Teatro Real initially said it stood by a presumption of innocence for Domingo when the allegations first surfaced last year, while stating that the theater had zero tolerance for the alleged misbehavior. The festival said it would obtain “comprehensive information on the investigations currently under way in the USA before it considers further steps.”
