Just in: Dutch cut all ties with famed director

Just in: Dutch cut all ties with famed director

The Amsterdam theatre group ITA has dismissed the Belgian director Ivo van Hove, following reports of ‘unacceptable behaviour’ under his leadership.

Van Hove, 65, resigned last year as artistic director but retained a €145,000 salary as artistic advisor, which has now been terminated.

The city-funded company’s entire board has also resigned. More here.

Van Hove has staged productions at Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera, as well as on Broadway and in the West End.
