Norton-Hale appointed English Touring Opera General Director

ROBIN NORTON-HALE is joining the English Touring Opera as General Director in July.

She will join ETO from OperaUpClose, where she is Artistic Director & Chief Executive, having co-founded the company in 2009. 

Norton-Hale first worked with ETO as Press and Marketing Officer in the early stages of her career. She was given her first directing opportunities with the opera and has since been a regular collaborator as a consultant and artist.

For the company’s autumn 2022 season, Norton-Hale has written the libretto for an opera for young people.

“It’s an honour to have the opportunity to build on English Touring Opera’s reputation for exceptional artistry and commitment to opera for all, especially their brilliant new work for young people, and I am very excited about what the future holds,” Norton-Hale said.
