mainIt has been announced that the international stage director Michael Cavanagh will be the new artistic director of opera at the Royal Opera in Stockholm from next year.

This is fantastic news. I worked (as a chorister) in numerous productions directed by Michael. He is brilliant, organized and very funny. A real pleasure to work with. I wish him the best.
Brilliant news! Congratulations and best wishes Michael!
