Following a rigorous national and international search, Opera Australia has announced the appointment of Amy Lane as Director of Opera, completing OA’s senior leadership recruitment and marking a defining moment in the company’s 70th anniversary year.
Lane joins OA after a successful seven-year tenure as Artistic Director of the Copenhagen Opera Festival and, prior to that, as Head Staff Director at The Royal Ballet and Opera, Covent Garden. She has worked at major opera houses and festivals across the UK, Europe and North America, and was engaged by OA as Revival Director for Kasper Holten’s production of Szymanowski’s King Roger, performed in Melbourne and Sydney in 2017.
