Countertenor David Daniels has been accused of rape. The NY Daily News has the details, and they are damning, because they include the victim contemporaneously telling a friend and a psychotherapist about what had happened.
Daniels is scheduled to appear in next summer's Orlando. I have a theory about who his replacement might be, assuming SFO consults its contract with Daniels and finds a morals clause or other reason to release him from the production.
Update, 4:30, 8/22/2018: Daniels has taken a leave of absence from the University of Michigan, where he teaches, according to the NY Times.
Update, 8/23/2018: San Francisco Opera investigating the situation, committed to a safe environment for all, according to statements to the Daily News.
