Spain takes first European moves against Plácido Domingo.

MADRID» The Spanish government canceled upcoming performances by Plácido Domingo on Wednesday after the singer’s acceptance of “full responsibility” for actions that prompted sexual misconduct allegations, as cracks formed in the steadfast support European opera houses have shown for the tenor.

Spain’s Culture Ministry said Wednesday that “given the seriousness of the deeds,” and “in solidarity with women affected,” together with Domingo’s declarations of responsibility, it had canceled his part in “Luisa Fernanda” at the Teatro de la Zarzuela light opera house in mid-May.
