Welsh National Opera Hires A Star

“Glasgow-born John Fisher will take over the running of WNO in May. He replaces Anthony Freud, who has left after 11 years to take over Houston Opera in Texas. Mr Fisher’s track record includes being the first non-Italian ever to run an Italian opera house – La Fenice, in Venice. He has also been head of music at La Scala, Milan, and is now director of music administration at the Met.”
