Czech media are respectfully noting the death of Ludek Golat, former head of the Moravian-Silesian National Theatre.
He was 70.
Golat was fired in 2009 after he threw a salami at a singer’s face, knocking out several teeth.
There were also complaints about sex videos.
Golat went on to direct operas in Italy, Israel and elsewhere.
