Austria’s St. Margarethen opera festival has gone bankrupt, with four million Euros owed and 16 staff about to be sacked.

Assurances are being given that next week’s Aida in a Roman quarry will go ahead, and there’s talk of a rescue operation  by local interests, but this is a serious confidence blow to the country’s opera infrastructure. UPDATE here.
