Patricia Wulf and Placido Domingo Sexual Harassment Allegations

Patricia Wulf is one of the multiple women accusing Opera legend Placido Domingo of sexual harassment. Nine women, eight fellow singers and one dancer, are accusing Domingo of inappropriate behavior. The women told the Associated Press that Domingo sexually harassed them while offering them jobs. Other than the nine women, others came forward discussing their discomfort at Domingo’s alleged behavior.

Wulf told the Associated Press, “Every time I would walk off stage, he would be in the wings waiting for me. He would come right up to me, as close as could be, put his face right in my face, lower his voice and say, ‘Patricia, do you have to go home tonight?’” Wulf’s response was, “I would say, “Yes! I have to go home tonight.” And I would walk away.

Wulf said that she encountered Domingo at the Washington Opera House in 1998 where Domingo was the artistic director. Wulf, said, through tears, “You have to understand that when a man that powerful — he is almost like God in my business — when he would come up that close and say that the first thing that goes through your mind is ‘What?!’” Wulf said that during an entire run at the Washington Opera House, she was constantly accosted by Domingo. Wulf said that she would regularly wonder if she had ruined her career by rebuffing Domingo’s advances.

Wulf said that she resorted to hiding behind pillars in attempts to hide from Wulf but “he would still find a way to get me.” Wulf also said that she would hide in her dressing room, peaking out to see if Domingo was around before leaving. One male colleague told Wulf that if she went public with her allegations, she would be fired, not Domingo. Wulf said that she had not been physically assaulted by Domingo but that his constant words “affected the way [Wulf] dealt with men for the rest of my operatic career and the rest of my life.
