Major changes in Opera Australia leadership and Campbell Addy's eye for movement
Description
After a challenging 12 months, which saw the exit of the CEO and artistic director and a ten million dollar operating deficit, Opera Australia has announced a new leadership team: new CEO, new Chair, and a new director of music, with the artistic director role now split between music and opera. Dr Caitlin Vincent, author of Opera Wars, looks at what we should expect from the company in the coming years and why one of Australia's most prestigious arts organisations has struggled with leadership and with their finances.
And Campbell Addy is one of the most in-demand photographers of his generation, with a portfolio that includes names like Beyonce, Naomi Campbell, and Tyler, the Creator. He takes us behind the scenes of a magazine cover shoot and explores the intersection of art and fashion ahead of his exhibition, I Love Campbell, at the Ballarat Foto Biennale.
