Artistic coordinator quits La Scala

Artistic coordinator quits La Scala

The departure of Dominique Meyer as Sovrintendente has set off a gave of musical chairs on the top floor of La Scala.

First to go is the supremely well-informed André Comploi, Meyer’s right-hand man for the past 17 years in Vienna and Milan. He will be succeeded by Paolo Gavazzeni, a former Scala staffer who is presently artistic director of the television channel Classica HD, broadcast on the Sky television platform, Canale 136.

The post Artistic coordinator quits La Scala appeared first on Slippedisc.
