Plácido Domingo withdraws from the Met. Is the L.A. Opera next?
. The language of the Met’s announcement implied that the company had asked Domingo to step back.
“The Metropolitan Opera confirms that Plácido Domingo has agreed to withdraw from all future performances at the Met, effective immediately,” the statement read. “The Met and Mr. Domingo are in agreement that he needed to step down. The Met has no further comment at this time.”in a statement to the New York Times, noting that he has sung at the Met for 51 consecutive years.
The last-minute reversal came after a contentious weekend at the world’s largest repertory opera house. Although the Met previously had said it would await the outcome of an L.A. Opera investigation of the harassment allegations before taking any action, pressure peaked over the weekend following an NPR report that said Met General Manager Peter Gelb held a closed-door meeting with employees Saturday.
Domingo had sung in rehearsals, and the Met said as late as Monday that he would perform. By Tuesday afternoon, however, the Met’s website had been scrubbed of all mentions of Domingo in “Macbeth,” instead advertising that baritone Zeljko Lucic — originally scheduled to alternate with Domingo — would star in all performances.
