Salzburg Festival strips president of public role
NewsThe Board of Trustees of the Salzburg Festival decided yesterday to relieve its president Kristina Hammer of respnsibility for press and media. The sole public face of the festival in future will be that of the artistic director Markus Hinterhäuser.
There are external concerns that Hinterhäuser already holds too much power, especially in his uncritical support for such Putin-linked artists as Teodor Currentzis.
