The hard-pressed former industrial city is increasing its cultural offer with a decision to increase spending on music in the next three years.

The Leipzig Opera’s subsidy will increase from the presentĀ 47 million Euro to almost 52 mllion in 2020 (that’s about four times what English National Opera gets).

The Gewandhaus gets a more modest increase, fromĀ 19 million Euros now to 20.6 million in 2020.
