Stephen Lord has denied allegations of sexual harassment.

The conductor who was forced to resign from his post as principal conductor at the Michigan Opera Theatre Wednesday denied all allegations of sexual harassment.

In an email in response to The Detroit News, Lord stated, “I could fight all of this and I still might. Yesterday I had two of the world’s most famous opera singers, one from Moscow even, call. And three former employers. These are friends and people with whom I have lived and who know me inside and out and they were in tears seeing their friend assassinated.”

The conductor was also expected to conduct at Opera Maine in a new production of “The Magic Flute’ but the company has since let him go.

Lord was accused by more than two dozen singers of sexual harassment.
