Just in: Kim quits
mainThe highly regarded Kim Gaynor has quit as director general of Vancouver Opera after just three years in the job.
‘A divergence of opinion,’ with the board, apparently.
Kim had been MD of the Verbier Festival in Switzerland for 11 years before heading to Canada. She knows all there is to know about artistic planning and temper/ament.
She leaves immediately.
Gaynor lasted less than two years with the Opéra de Montréal (2001-2002). “Diverging points of view” with the board.
