At Last Minute, Met Opera Cuts Plácido Domingo Loose

One day before he was due to take the stage in the title role of Verdi’s Macbeth, both the tenor-turned-baritone and the opera house announced his withdrawal from the production. (Domingo said he would not return to the Met.) The move comes after an apparent rebellion at the company, where many objected to continuing to work with the singer as accusations of sexual misconduct keep mounting. – The New York Times
