Opera star Placido Domingo resigned as general director of the Los Angeles Opera and withdrew from all future performances, following multiple allegations from women who say the legendary tenor sexually harassed them there and at opera companies around the country over a period of decades.

Domingo’s departure from LA Opera raises questions about his future career in the United States, where he has been removed or has stepped down from all scheduled appearances since the allegations of sexual harassment or other inappropriate, sexually charged conduct by Domingo were first reported by The Associated Press.
