* Opera Theatre of Saint Louis: Stephen Lord concluded as music director in 2017. He now has the title of music director emeritus.
Also, Pappano is still at the ROH Covent Garden, so neither Pappano nor Kalmar are looking for new posts, AFAICT.
My source on Kalmar is a blog post by a member of the orchestra. He references a press release that is no longer on the orchestra's web site.
I will update the rest.
Re Pappano, yes, there was an extension of his ROH contract this past November to 2023. Until that time, it was reasonably think he might be leaving. Presumably we'll hear whether it's being extended past that, but for now, I will remove him and the ROH from the list.
