Plácido Domingo received a standing ovation as he took to the stage at the Salzburg Festival at his first performance since nine women accused him of sexual harassment in an AP report.
Placido Domingo talks to fans at the 'Festspielhaus' opera house after he performed 'Luisa Miller' by Giuseppe Verdi in Salzburg, Austria, Sunday, Aug. 25, 2019. Domingo is scheduled to appear onstage at the Salzburg Festival to perform for the first time since multiple women have accused the opera legend of sexual harassment in allegations brought to light by The Associated Press.
“Wonderful public, good performance all, I mean so much love from the public,” Domingo said after the show as he signed autographs at a side entrance for dozens of fans, many whom said they have followed the opera legend for decades. “Domingo has wiped aside all the lies. He was great,” said Michael Burggasser, a German literature teacher in Vienna, who says he has appeared as an extra in productions featuring Domingo in the past.
In a statement to the AP, Domingo called the allegations “deeply troubling and, as presented inaccurate” and said he believed his interactions with the women to be consensual. He hasn’t spoken publicly about the allegations since the article was published.Culture writer Hedwig Kainberger wrote in the Salzburger Nachrichten this week that there was no reason for Domingo not to sing at the festival.
