The Slovak National Theatre (SND) will be headed by Zuzana Tapakova on a temporary basis, with Culture Minister Martina Simkovicova (SNS nominee) appointing her to the post on Tuesday, Culture Ministry spokesperson Petra Bacinska informed TASR.
"Zuzana Tapakova is an experienced manager with a rich career in media and marketing. During her professional life, she's established herself as one of the key personalities of the Slovak media scene," said Bacinska, who noted that the new temporary director of SND held top-ranking posts in private media, as well as in public-service broadcaster STVR.
The culture minister dismissed the previous SND general director Matej Drlicka on August 6, citing serious managerial failures on his part and the loss of trust in him as reasons for her decision.
After Drlicka's dismissal, SND economic director Matej Bosnak resigned from his post, quickly followed by SND opera ensemble head Martin Leginus.
