The Los Angeles Opera has declined to release any details of its promised investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against Placido Domingo.
Placido Domingo speaks at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles on Aug. 26, 2014.
Len Egert, the executive director of the American Guild of Musical Artists, told The Associated Press that the union has been receiving its own reports from members since an AP story earlier this week detailing accusations against the 78-year-old singing star. On Friday, LA Opera would not disclose who would be conducting the investigation, how it would be carried out, when it would start or its expected duration.
In its initial statement, LA Opera said Domingo “has been a dynamic creative force in the life of LA Opera” but that it is committed to ensuring that its employees and artists “be treated respectfully and feel safe and secure.” Aside from LA Opera, the other women quoted in the story recounted incidents they said took place at other venues, including Washington Opera and the Metropolitan Opera in New York, ranging from 1988 into the mid-2000s.
The American Guild of Musical Artists issued a statement calling for wider investigations across the opera world.
