Congratulations to Shawna Lucey, who has just been named General Director and CEO of Opera San José! Here's the email I received from the company:
After conducting an extensive national search, we could not be more delighted in welcoming Shawna Lucey to launch our next chapter at Opera San José.
When we began this process five months ago, we knew we were looking for a charismatic leader whose passion and vision would help us continue to grow and expand upon the incredible work and programs OSJ has to offer. Shawna more than fits the bill — her experience directing productions at America’s leading opera houses, her passion for infusing new resonance into classics, and her crystalline view of vibrant contemporary works will be enormous assets, propelling our company into a thrilling future.
Shawna will assume the role of General Director and CEO in January 2022 and we look forward to giving her a heartfelt welcome to San Jose!
The company's previous director, Khori Dastoor, was appointed GM of Houston Grand Opera.
