Huge break up at Opera Australia

Jo Davies has departed as artistic director after 18 months in the job, and a few days before she was to announce the next season. Insiders say she had a fractious meeting with OA chief executive Fiona Allan.

OA said Davies’ departure followed ‘differences of opinion about how Opera Australia should successfully balance artistic innovation, audience development and commercial imperatives.’

The company has been a hive of bad working relationships and harrassment allegations going back a decade and more.
