Opera megastar Plácido Domingo engaged in “inappropriate activity” with women both “in and outside of the workplace,” an independent investigation commissioned by the American Guild of Musical Artists found.
The AP reported that the investigators hired by AGMA spoke to 27 people who said that they were either"sexually harassed or witnessed inappropriate behavior" over the course of two decades and that the timeline of Domingo's behavior included the periods during which he was artistic director at Washington National Opera and general director of LA Opera.
The AGMA investigation, as well as a separate independent investigation led by LA Opera, was launched after the APreported accusations of 20 women who said that Domingo had sexually harassed them as far back as the 1980s and as recently as the 2016-2017 opera season. In the same statement, the two women's lawyer, Debra Katz, who also represents other Domingo accusers, urged AGMA to release the results of its investigation, saying: "Opera companies may have prioritized ticket sales generated by powerful men over the safety of women in the industry, but the AGMA now has an opportunity to send a clear message that the safety and dignity of women matter. We look forward to the release of the final report.
The results of the AGMA investigation were not supposed to be disclosed, either in summary or in full, to the public or to the union's membership. Union leaders, however, were permitted to speak individually to members about the investigation and its findings.
