In the thick of this week’s pre-Christmas strikes, it has become known that Martin Ajdari, directeur général adjoint, is getting out next month.

Ajdari, 56, has worked at the Opéra for 24 years. He has been rewarded by President Macron with a state sinecure as president of the Audiovisual and Digital Communication Regulatory Authority (ARCOM).

    no wonder as the ailing Paris Opera is getting worse than ever and is so badly run….Monsieur Gall was the last capable one as then Mortier and Lissner both overrated killed it and now it’s the worst

  • MaisNon says:

    No doubt MacKneef and Lady MacJoyce are nearby washing the knife. Out out damned spots: if only our government would recognize these two are the problem, perhaps our beloved opera house would survive. Away with these arrogant self-interested children.

    This so called independent organism is one of many of France plague. Soft dictatorship of unelected people. These kind and objective people monitor supposed ly free private médias about who they can invite or not , while leftist tax payed public service has obligation of pluralism but it’s not implemented or watched. For economy and censorship, this should be shut down right away…
