Fort Worth Opera Extends Darren Woods' Contract
Date: 2/3/2012 By Mark Lowry
"The Fort Worth Opera has announced that the contract for General Manager Darren Woods have been extended for two years, meaning he'll be there at least through June 2018. And that's a good thing, because Woods has brought some positive changes to the organization, notably proving that you can get crowds for new and less often-produced opera.
Most recently, he announced a New Works initiative, to take place in the FWO's 2013 festival season.
The Opera also announced six principal artists for its upcoming 2012 season, which features the opera Tosca and The Marriage of Figaro, plus Mark Adamo's version of Lysistrata, and the Jake Heggie/Terrence McNally chamber piece Three Decembers."
