Stadttheater Bern parts ways with musical director
The contract of Bern's Music Theater Principal Conductor Srboljub Dinić will not be renewed. He will leave Konzert Theater Bern at the end of the 2012/13 season.
As a result of the merger of the Stadttheater and the Bern Symphony Orchestra (BSO) to form the Konzert Theater Bern and the associated restructuring measures, a new leading musical position will be created in the music theater from the 2013/14 season, according to the press release.
Together with the chief conductor of the BSO, Mario Venzago, and the opera and concert director Xavier Zuber, she will complement the artistic direction of the music theater of Konzert Theater Bern.
Zuber paid tribute to the conductor, saying that Dinić had played a decisive role in shaping musical life in Bern over the past twelve years of his engagement. Dinić himself "accepts the decision with regret".
