Nicholas Payne bows out
NewsThe former head of the Royal Opera and English National Opera stepped down today as director of Opera Europa, the industry colloquium. Nicholas has led the group since 2003.
He will be succeeded by Karen Stone, former head of Dallas Opera, Magdeburg, Graz and Oper Köln.
I cherish the discographies he wrote for welsh national opera when he was their financial director. Wonderfully informed , acerbic when needed and fulsome and generous when the recording hit the mark. They should be collated and published.
