New leader at Boston Lyric Opera

Posted by Geoff Edgers August 5, 2008 02:56 PM

Esther Nelson will take over as general and artistic director in September. She’s replacing longtime general director Janice Mancini Del Sesto but with more artistic duties included, hence the title change. BLO is still looking to replace departed music director Stephen Lord, and will relaunch its search after Nelson arrives in the fall. Nelson, 55, ran Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown, NY for six years before leaving in 2002, and becoming a management consultant.
