Outrage as ex-Casino boss joins Vienna Opera
mainPetra Bohuslav has been named commercial director of the Vienna State Opera, alongside artistic director Bogdan Roscic.
Bohuslav, 54, is a regional politician who was formerly a manager at Casinos Austria and managing director of the Carnuntum archology park.
The former long-serving head of the Vienna State Opera, Ion Holender, has erupted in outrage, saying Bohuslav ‘had nothing to do with theatre, or with opera.’ He accused the culture minister of sneaking in her appointment to avoid public discussion in the media lull before Christmas.
