An award-winning Welsh director of opera, theatre and musicals has been appointed to run Australia’s national opera company.
Opera Australia (OA) CEO Fiona Allan said that Cardiff-born Jo Davies – who has previously directed productions in the UK, Europe and North America – was the standout candidate to succeed Lyndon Terracini as the company’s new Artistic Director.
‘It really gives me the greatest pleasure to be able to announce Jo’s appointment. Her depth of experience across opera, theatre and musicals, as well as her demonstrated commitment to developing talent, made her an outstanding candidate,’ Allen said in a statement.
