Pereira goes to Florence

Alexander Pereira, who had a lasting influence on the fortunes of the Zurich Opera House for many years as artistic director, is taking over the management of the Florence Opera House after his tenure at La Scala in Milan.

According to international media reports, the only thing missing for the appointment is the formal approval of the opera's supervisory board. This is to take place at a meeting on September 6. It was announced in June that Pereira's contract in Milan would not be extended. He will be succeeded in Milan by the current Vienna Opera Director Dominique Meyer.

In Florence, Pereira takes over a house in crisis. The previous artistic director Cristiano Chiarot resigned in July in protest against the new Maggio Musicale president Salvatori Nastasi, and the general music director of the Zurich Opera House Fabio Luisi, who also served as music director in Florence, has now also resigned from this position out of displeasure.
