German opera chief quits at Christmas

German opera chief quits at Christmas

The city of Würzburg has been shaken by the abrupt departure of Markus Trabusch, in tendant of the Mainfranken Theatre for the past nine years.

A statement by the city said Traubusch had ‘recently been exposed to considerable public pressure and accusations.’

His contract was due to expire next summer but both sides agreed to end it now.

Traubusch, 62, had been in hot water for criticising the behaviour of a disabled theatregoer as ‘a massive disturbance’.
