Austrian conductor Otmar Suitner dies
By David Rogers
Austrian conductor Otmar Suitner died last Friday in Berlin at the age of 87, it was reported today (Tues).
Suitner worked for many years in the former German Democratic Republic and was chief conductor of the Staatskapelle and the Staatsoper in Dresden from 1960 to 1964 and conducted at the opera house Unter den Linden in Berlin from 1964 to 1990.
He specialised in conducting works by Mozart, Wagner and Richard Strauss but also led performances of the works of many contemporary composers.
Suitner, also honorary conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, taught from 1977 to 1990 at today’s University for Music and the Performing Arts in Vienna.
Illness forced him to give up conducting and teaching in 1990.
