London latest in a string of cities to sever ties with Placido Domingo

Spanish tenor Placido Domingo has withdrawn from this summer’s production of 'Don Carlo' at London’s Royal Opera House, in the shadow of allegations of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, the New York Times reports. The Royal Opera House said Friday it had been mutually agreed with Domingo that he will not be taking up his role in the Giuseppe Verdi classic in July. It’s the latest in a string of withdrawals over the past weeks as venues have reassessed their ties with the Spanish star. Performances by Domingo have been cancelled in cities including Tokyo, Madrid and San Francisco, among others.
