Спасибо, как будто на концерте побывала:) Интересно, почему Церлину пела меццо? Вроде Гарифулина должна бы.

The Times view on Plácido Domingo: Wrong Note

The Royal Opera should cease to work with Plácido Domingo

A young Spanish tenor made a sensational debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in 1971 in the role of Cavaradossi in Puccini’s Tosca. Plácido Domingo’s global reputation as a musical genius has burgeoned since. It is little wonder that Oliver Mears, the Royal Opera’s director of opera, stresses in an interview with The Times today the richness and durability of the company’s association with Domingo, and that it is considering what form future collaborations might take.

Yet the proper association ought to be zero. An independent investigation commissioned by Los Angeles Opera into allegations of sexual harassment against Domingo reported last year. It concluded that the singer had engaged in “inappropriate conduct” with several women over more than 30 years when he held senior positions with the company. Its findings replicated those of a separate investigation by the American Guild of Musical Artists, which represents musical performers.

In most walks of life, credible evidence of harassment would be cause for disciplinary action. Yet in the performing arts, celebrity was until recently a shield. The number of women reporting unwanted sexual advances from Domingo extends into dozens. Such conduct is not a mere peccadillo of a great artist, nor should it be rationalised away as harmless flirtation. Within their common working environment, Domingo pressured women who occupied less exalted roles and apparently intimated they would suffer career damage if they rejected him.

On his 80th birthday in January, Domingo revelled in the good wishes of President Putin. He has also consented to an obsequious interview with the Russian state propaganda organ RT. Democratic societies have greater moral standing than this, and their publicly subsidised arts organisations should bid farewell to this star performer.

А какая связь Путина с сексуальными домогательствами? Или интервью RT? Ну просто никакой, на мой взгляд. Автор текста отклонился от темы)))

[Polli]

Интервью RT и поздравления от Путина отличный повод вытащить на свет иcторию с домогательствами, которые якобы были 30 лет назад, и почему-то исключительно в США - в Европе и России "потерпевших" тогда не нашлось.
Но зачем это здесь?

Думаю, что эта статья вызвана обычной завистью. Именно тогда была объявлена
прекрасная новость: Международный конкурс вокалистов Пласидо Доминго "Опералия 2021" пройдет в Большом театре на Исторической сцене с 18 по 24 октября 2021 в Москве.
Вот и реакция некоторых недобрых завистников
