Welsh National Opera has announced the death, of natural causes, of its close collaborator Abdul Shayek.

Abdul was artistic director and joint CEO of Tara Theatre which, he said, would ‘be a catalyst and agent for change within the UK theatre landscape, addressing the widespread lack of diversity and inclusivity.’ At WNO, he was Associate Director for Migrations, and director for a series of short films, Rearrange.
