The intendant of the Berlin Staatsoper Matthias Schulz has told the local press that his music director Daniel Barenboim rejects allegations that he shook and grabbed a female orchestra manager, Laura Eisen.

He admits, however, to shouting at her over what he now deswcribes as a misunderstanding over his wife’s piano.

Schulz said he discussed the matter separately with both parties and Barenboim was cleared by an investigation. Eisen stands by her story.
