Music Director

In 2027, we will celebrate thirty years of opera on the site where a chicken shed became an opera house. Our vision is to be recognised as a bold, audacious company essential to the UK’s cultural landscape, rooted in our community and environment, a place of apprenticeship for homegrown Wagnerian talent and the next generation of artists and audiences.

A vital part of this future is our search for our new Music Director.

The successful candidate will build on the strong foundations established over the 25-year tenure of Anthony Negus, who will become Conductor Laureate of LFO and Lifetime President of the Longborough Wagner Club. The selection process will be underpinned by LFO’s commitment to artistic excellence, innovation, and a deep appreciation of Wagner’s works.

Naomi Russell is acting as advisor to Longborough Festival Opera on this appointment and is the main point of contact for candidates throughout the process. naomi@birdbybirdprojects.com +44 7543 176573.
