Overnight, fundraiser becomes general director of Montreal Opera

Overnight, fundraiser becomes general director of Montreal Opera

Message from Patrick Corrigan, head of Opéra de Montréal:

Today I announced my retirement and will conclude my work as General Director of Opéra de Montréal on October 31, 2025. This will mark the end of a deeply rewarding career in opera and ten seasons at the helm of OdM. It has been the greatest privilege of my professional career.

My retirement has been thoughtfully and carefully planned in collaboration with the Board of Directors, whom I must thank for their unwavering support throughout my tenure. I also thank our exceptional team, past and present, for their leadership, dedication, and for our many attainments that have brought the opera to new heights artistic ally and institutionally….

Finally, I wish to congratulate Opéra de Montréal and its Board of Directors for naming our Chief Philanthropy Officer, Jean-Pierre Primiani as the next General Director.
