Vittorio Grigolo
The Royal Opera in London and The Met in New York have removed tenor Vittorio Grigolo after an investigation found inappropriate and aggressive behavior at a curtain call. A spokesperson for the London opera says on Thursday that their investigation found his behavior “fell below the standards” the company expects of its staff and performers. Grigolo will not return to perform in “Lucia Di Lammermoor” in 2020, nor perform at The Met this season. The investigation started in September after a Sept. 18 incident when he sang the title role in Gounod’s “Faust” on tour in Tokyo.
