Confusion at the Salzburg Festival: Davydova conflict clarified!

The Salzburg Festival is under pressure after the abrupt discharge of her acting director Marina Davydova. This was done due to a secondary activity not approved by the festival, such as Salzburg.AT.at . In an agreement, the directorate of the Festival and Davydova agreed out of court and avoided a protracted labor court procedure. Despite this agreement, the directorate remains firm at its legal status points. Festival President Kristina Hammer and director Markus Hinterhäuser emphasize that they highly appreciate the quality of the performances for the upcoming season.

criticism of the management team

The dismissal of Davydova has triggered a wave of criticism against director Hinterhäuser, whose leadership style is questioned. Above all, dissatisfaction is encouraged to deal with employees and artists. Director Michael Sturminger said that he was gaining the impression that Hinterhäuser acts without any regulatory. Klemens Renoldner also spoke of considerable “communication problems” in the team. In view of these allegations, the directorate is still closed behind Hinterhäuser, such as tt.com reported.

The background of the dismissal revolves around a secondary activity of Davydova, which was involved in an artistic advisory board of a small Berlin festival and did not report this in time. Her lawyers emphasize that this activity was free of charge and that there is no violation of the duties. Davydova have described the reasons for her discharge as "far -fetched", but is satisfied with the agreement. The details of this agreement remain confidential due to a disagreement.
