A Spanish opera singer who has so far remained anonymous accused tenor Plácido Domingo yesterday of harassing her when they shared the stage at the beginning of this century. It is the first case in which a Spanish woman joins the complaints of women in other countries.

“He is untouchable, he shouldn’t, but he is, that’s why I’m in the dark,” said the Spanish woman during the television program “Salvados” on La Sexta, which claims to have corroborated the testimony of this active singer with two other sources. .
Domingo kissed her on the mouth in full performance on a stage in Spain, against her will, when the lights went out in a performance. “The first thing they tell you is: ‘don’t get into an elevator alone with him,'” the woman stressed.
His testimony was preceded by an interview with the American mezzo-soprano Patricia Wulf, the first to denounce Domingo.
“It was an open secret.” She said Domingo, whom she defines as “godlike” in the world of opera, appeared in her dressing room knowing she was getting dressed, made advances on her and called her at odd hours, speaking of her husband as her ” rival”.
The AP investigation was joined by another from the Los Angeles Opera, of which Domingo was director, and another from the American union of musical artists.
Its former vice president, the baritone Samuel Schulz, has recounted in the program an alluded agreement of half a million dollars between the singer and the union not to publish an investigation demonstrating that 27 women, for twenty years, had been subjected to inappropriate behavior by part of Sunday.
