Marco Goecke was apparently furious about a review of one of his shows by journalist Wiebke Hüster.
He allegedly confronted Ms Hüster during the half-time break of another show and smeared a paper bag filled with dog excrement on her face.
Ms Hüster's employer, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), said police were investigating.
The initial review of Mr Goecke's show, In The Dutch Mountains, was described by Ms Hüster as like being "alternately driven mad and killed by boredom".
Mr Goecke said he believed the damning review had cost the Hanover Opera House subscriptions and threatened to ban her from the opera house during the confrontation.
Hanover State Opera said Mr Goecke had been suspended with immediate effect, as his "impulsive reaction" went against its rules of conduct.

I don’t approve but I can understand.
Artsy types are VERY sensitive to criticism, just like liberals . . . which most of them are.
Really? You don't say!............................
Suspended? Reinstatement is on the table?
Impulsive?? LOL. I think it took some planning to get a bag of feces to the show and then wait to smear it on her. He should have gone to see The Menu and taken notes if he wanted to do it right.
Gee, people thought Harry Truman was to tough on the critic who said that Margaret had poor volume and dropped notes.
What $hitty thing to do.
Easily provable as premeditated. Artists are such posers.
Would have meant more if it was his own poop. Thats just how monkeys work.
He needs to be locked up, and she needs to be allowed to put on a pair of purple gloves, reach into a ‘special bag’ and
smear poo on his face, with NO TOWELS readily available!
“Herr Goecke, If you would like a towel, you must first fill out a requisition form for bureau’s consideration. Forms are collected one day of the week. That day was yesterday.”
Something only a bitch gay dude would do. Disgusting and criminal.
Only in America can such a thing happen. Europeans never….. what? Frankfurt? It’s in Kentucky. It’s not?
Hahaha...I just saw that last night...there sure were some interesting scenarios in that! (Ralph Fiennes was great!)
More effectively executed in “The Help”…
CAT FIGHT!!!
“police were investigating.”
From a distance I hope 😏
SSDD..........................
Reminds me of a famous quote by a German composer, Max Reger:
“I am in the smallest room of the house. I have your review in front of me. Soon it will be behind me.”
Apparently Kraut artists don’t handle criticism well, and seem to have similar thoughts in responding to it.
Must have been a shitty review.
