Trumpist mayor scolds Berlin’s needy opera houses

Trumpist mayor scolds Berlin’s needy opera houses

Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner of the CDU is not hardening his plan to cut 12 percent from the city’s art spend.

He says: ‘I think we have to get away from the mentality of ‘we need money from the state’. I also expect our theatres and opera houses to explain exactly how they can operate more economically and with their own resources. This is a task that applies to all of us – regardless of which area we work in.’
