Lawyer steps in to run opera house

Lawyer steps in to run opera house

The state theatre in Augsburg was in trouble when its experienced intendant Florian Stiehler resigned this year.

What to do in a crisis? They called in a lawyer, Ulrike Kuhrdt.

Well, not quite. Kuhrdt, 51, had previously worked in the theatre as head of HR.
