She related how Domingo allegedly asked to touch her after a rehearsal.
“The first time that I felt unease was when we were rehearsing. He told me in front of everyone: ‘Listen, can I put my hand in one of these lovely pockets of yours.’ I was wearing trousers with an embroidered back pocket,” she said.
A woman said Placido Domingo allegedly asked to touch her at a theatre in Spain at the start of the 21st century.“I had a bad stomach because I thought what can I say to in order to carry on normally. If I tell him no, there will be consequences and if I say yes, I don’t even want to think about it.”“He is Domingo. He is untouchable. He should not be but I am in the shadows,” she added.
Domingo said in a statement at the time he respected the women’s decisions to speak out and that he was “truly sorry for the hurt I caused them.” The findings prompted Spain to cancel planned performances by the tenor-turned baritone at publicly funded theatres. U.S. institutions including the Metropolitan Opera in New York and San Francisco Opera also scrapped planned engagements.Domingo resigned as general director of the Los Angeles Opera, whose own enquiry found 10 allegations about him to be “credible.
