The city leadership of Debrecen did not dismiss the trust-lost artistic director by mutual agreement

The leadership of Debrecen dismissed the theater director, Dr. Dániel Vadász, after he lost the confidence of the majority of staff. Mayor Papp László stated that the situation was not suitable for a mutual agreement regarding Vadász's departure. An internal investigation has been initiated, and the city will announce a public application for the director position. The staff had previously reached out to MP Enikő Tompa regarding concerns about the theater's management. Vadász, appointed in 2025, has a background in music and cultural management, having previously led various cultural initiatives.
