Reagált a szexuális abúzussal vádolt opera-rendező: Nem történt abúzus, csak 18 pluszos volt a darab

Opera director András Almási-Tóth has responded to allegations of sexual abuse made by opera singer András Varga-Tóth. Almási-Tóth denies any abuse occurred, stating that a student simply declined a rehearsal idea involving a leash, which he described as an "R-rated" concept. He explained his departure from the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music after 16 years was due to a loss of trust stemming from this operatic exam direction. The Academy confirmed his contract was terminated by mutual agreement, not dismissal, citing unspecified rule violations in the direction of the final opera exam that were incompatible with the institution's principles.

The situation highlights concerns about professional conduct and power dynamics within the performing arts education sector.
