Dresden (AP) - The contract of Christian Thielemann (62) as chief conductor of the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden will not be extended after the end of the 2023/2024 season.
This was announced by the Saxon culture minister Barbara Klepsch (CDU) on Monday in Dresden.
“Regardless of that, I would be delighted if Christian Thielemann, with his internationally respected profile, would continue to remain artistically connected to the Semperoper”, explained Klepsch.
Peter Theiler (64) is to remain director of the Semperoper until 2024.
After that, they want to fill the management of the opera and the position of chief conductor with “Perspective Semper 2030”.
