Salzburg is sued for 10 million Euros in underpaid fees
NewsA group of singers and lawyers are taking action against the Salzburg Festival for alleged breaches of labour laws in the course of cancellations and postponements for the truncated 2020 summer festival.
The claim affects 67 opera soloists and 120 chorus members.
Other performers were apparently overcompensated, leading to further claims under equality law.
The Salzburg Festival points out that it was the only music event in the world to go ahead in the first Covid summer, providing employment for hundreds of artists.

How sad. If they had cancelled the whole thing they would have been better off.
Some people. Bravo Salzburg. Fight them to the end.
Are the numbers correct? That’s over 50k per person.
