Italian conductor Speranza Scappucci, 48 has decuided not to renew her mandate as Music Director of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège, which runs until the end of the 2021-2022 season, the organization says.
The number of commitments postponed in the coming seasons would not allow her to free up the necessary time to properly assume the function of Music Director, the conductor said, as she declined the proposal made to her by the General and Artistic Director of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège Stefano Pace to renew her mandate.
