I have just been dismissed from Malmö Opera. It’s been 5 amazing years and I’m proud of the accomplishments I’ve achieved along with the world’s most competent and dedicated employees. A big thank you for the good cooperation with the board and the great support. Thank you to my management team who have been hardworking, loyal and talented, and thank you to all the amazing employees who showed a very special strength not least during the corona crisis to show the whole world that performing arts and music drama are life-giving end and important.
I’ve never experienced a better workplace where everyone takes responsibility for a good working environment on a daily basis and shows mutual respect.
The bosses are leaving, but the Malmø Opera remains!
I will now dedicate myself the family that for a year and a half, has been through a nightmare of the biggest dimensions.
