English National Opera (ENO) has today announced that Cressida Pollock, the company’s Chief Executive, is to leave her role at the end of ENO’s current season in June 2018. Cressida Pollock, who joined ENO in March 2015, said: I will be greatly saddened to leave this incredible institution, which it has been a privilege to lead. I am very proud of our achievements to date and am grateful to the extraordinary people I work alongside. When I arrived, the ENO was in crisis and the company’s survival was in real doubt. I am delighted that we have brought stability and secured ENO’s future. My successor will be able to focus on ensuring that the ENO continues to produce award-winning work at the heart of the UK opera scene.’ Dr Harry Brunjes, Chairman of ENO, added:
ENO will begin the process of appointing a new Chief Executive Officer later this month. |
