State Opera South Australia (SOSA) has appointed Australian-Chinese conductor Dane Lam as the company’s new Artistic Director.
Currently the Music Director of the Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of China’s Xi’an Symphony Orchestra, Lam said he was thrilled about the appointment and keen to build on the success of recent years.
‘I’ve long admired State Opera and its trailblazing work presenting a succession of Australian firsts, bringing more opera to more people across the state, and stewarding this most human of art forms,’ he said.
