Plácido Domingo received a standing ovation as he took to the stage at the Salzburg Festival
Placido Domingo during the 10th International Congress of Excellence organized by Madrid's Regional Government held at Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, Spain on July 15, 2019.received a standing ovation as he took to the stage at the Salzburg Festival on Sunday, a concerted show of support at his first performance since nine women accused him of sexual harassment in a report by The Associated Press.
The Domingo accusations have divided the opera world. Two U.S. opera houses immediately canceled planned appearances. European opera houses have so far confirmed engagements scheduled through November 2020, in what some see as an effort to slow a perceived rush to judgment in the #MeToo movement. “It was an outstanding performance,” Burggasser said. “But it was also a public rehabilitation of Mr. Domingo. Because when the people stood up in the beginning and cheered for him - that expresses their support for him. And this great man deserved it. These accusations are ridiculous and just not true.”
“However, Plácido Domingo has benefited a lot from public fame,” Kainberger added. “Therefore, in addition to the jubilation, he should also bear the criticism, listen to the protests, participate in the clarification and muster the courage to make any confessions.”
