UPCOMING EVENTS
The Toronto Wagner Society is delighted to host the Canadian Opera Company’s new General Director, Ian Derrer, as our guest on November 10 at 7:00 p.m. Please note the change of date from our previous email – due to a scheduling conflict, we have agreed to hold the meeting a day earlier.
Ian brings to his new position an impressive array of credentials that are sure to raise the COC’s already high profile even more. Before arriving in Toronto, he served eight years as the Kern Wildenthal General Director and CEO of The Dallas Opera.
This prestigious company was founded in 1957 and quickly rose to international prominence by featuring or premiering such legendary performers as Maria Callas, Teresa Berganza, Joan Sutherland and Jon Vickers.One of Ian’s strong talents is his ability to attract financial support. This was in full evidence during The Dallas Opera’s recent – and spectacularly successful – fund-raising campaign, which exceeded its target by 18 percent.Ian’s earlier experience includes his position as General Director of Kentucky Opera and an eight-year stint at Lyric Opera of Chicago as Director of Production and Head of the Rehearsal Department.
In addition to senior management experience, Ian’s CV includes professional work as a singer (baritone), stage manager and assistant director.We are thrilled to have him in Toronto and are looking forward to what promises to be an outstanding and memorable evening.
