New boss for Baden-Baden
mainBenedikt Stampa, manager of the Dortmund Konzerthaus, will take charge of the Baden-Baden festival house in 2019, it was announced yesterday.
Stampa, 51, succeeds Andreas Mölich-Zebhauser, 64, who has led the lavishly funded festivals since 1998, luring the Berlin Philharmonic away from Sazlburg and establishing Baden-Baden as an enclave for the elite.
That’s excellent news. Benedikt is a top manager and has built up an amazing hall in Dortmund.
