New York's prestigious Metropolitan Opera has suspended its eminent long-time conductor James Levine after three men, including one of Indian-origin, accused that he sexually abused them decades ago. The company in a statement said that it was suspending its four-decade relationship with 74-year-old Levine and cancelling his upcoming conducting engagements after knowing about his sexual misconduct that took place from the 1960's to the 1980's, Peter Gelb, the general manager of the Met said.
