Corona epidemic: Tonight (Sunday) it was announced that veteran opera singer Placido Domingo was also infected with the Corona virus.

The 79-year-old singer, of Spanish origin, confirmed a month ago that he will be participating in the Israeli "Opera" in October 2020, during which he will provide artistic advice to participants and participants and even win the Opera Orchestra - Rishon Le Zion Symphony - in the final phase.

The news of Domigo's arrival has drawn a wave of criticism, as the opera singer is currently facing allegations of sexual misconduct.

On arrival in Israel, about 20 complaints against him were harassed for harassment and sexual exploitation. According to the first claims, received from eight singers and one dancer and first performed in August 2019, the acts in question were performed over three decades, starting in the 1980s, in several opera houses where Domingo worked over the years.

In early September, 11 other women testified that Domingo sexually harassed them, taking advantage of his high status in the opera houses. One of the women, soprano Angela Turner Wilson, testified that Domingo held her so hard that she cried in pain, and that later she and other singers avoided being found with Domingo in the same space. Following the charges, and following an investigation on his behalf, the New York Metropolitan Opera House ceased his working relationship with Domingo, and shortly thereafter Domingo also resigned from the Los Angeles Opera House. It should be noted that in Europe Domingo's work continues almost as usual, and last month he performed at the Berlin Opera, despite protests by women's organizations in Germany.

Domingo himself denied the charges against him. "The allegations are very disturbing, but, as presented, are inaccurate," he said, "and I believe that all my connections and relationships were always welcomed and agreed."
