Opera boss is ousted
OperaItaly’s rightwing government has passed a law requiring public officials to leave office when they turn 70.
The law takes effect on June 10. The first head to roll will be that of Stéphane Lissner, sovrintendente of San Carlo in Naples.
The incoming law may also have affected Alexander Pereira’s recent departure from the Maggio Musicale in Florence.
The Meloni regime is keen to stack arts positions with its supporters.
Lissner, 70 since January, is a former head of Paris Opéra.
