GÁBOR KOLTAY REMOVED FROM HIS THEATRE

After eighteen years as director of the Open Air Theatre Gábor Koltay has to leave his post. The day before yesterday the cultural committee of the Metropolitan Assembly which maintains the theatre made a proposition with a leftist majority of votes that Teodóra Bán, head of the Budapest Summer Festival of Opera and Ballet should be elected to the post of managing director of the Open Air Theatre (Szabad Tér Színház).
