Yuval Sharon Steps Down from Industry Opera Company
By Francisco SalazarYuval Sharon has announced he is stepping down from his position as Artistic Director at the Industry Opera Company.
Sharon said that his decision was made because he will need to spend more time in New York as he is set to debut at the Metropolitan Opera next season with a new production of “Tristan un Isolde” and he is developing a new production of “The Ring Cycle.”
As a result, the company’s executive director, Tim Griffin will expand his title to become both executive and artistic director. The Industry’s co-artistic directors, Ash Fure and Malik Gaines will form a new artistic advisory council.
The Industry is an experimental company that expands the operatic form. It brings together interdisciplinary artists to create collaborative performances that engage the cultural landscape of Los Angeles.
Sharon has directed opera at many leading theaters including the Bayreuth Festival, the Komische Oper Berlin, Detroit Opera, and Wiener Staatsoper, to name a few. He recently released his first book, “A New Philosophy of Opera.”
