Opera News Hearts Fort Worth Opera's Darren Woods
Date: 7/25/2012 By Peter Simek
The director of the Fort Worth Opera Festival is one of only three opera company leaders among twenty-five individuals featured in Opera News' list of people the publication believes will be vital to "Opera's next wave."
After praising Woods for widening the company's approach to repertory by championing contemporary opera, the article continues, "Woods's talents extend beyond being a courageous programmer; he also has a reputation for being a strict fiscal watchdog. …As other regional companies are collapsing under the weight of moribund programming and bad debt, Fort Worth continues to move forward. Recently, the board extended Woods's contract through 2018."
