It was no easy for Nora Schmid to say goodbye after eight years as artistic director of Graz Opera.

So she turned her farewell gala into a costume parade, wearing outfits from the most eye-catching productions of her time.

(Don’t expect the same from Peter Gelb).

Nora, 44, is moving on to take charge of the Semper Oper in Dresden.
