To mark Ching-Lien Wu's departure for Paris, Dutch National Opera plans to hold a farewell concert in April.
Ching-Lien Wu, Chorus master of Dutch National Opera, will be moving to Paris on 26 April 2021 where she has been appointed 'Chef des choeurs' at Opéra National de Paris. Wu has been working at Dutch National Opera (DNO) for seven seasons and in this time has taken the chorus to great heights, with recognition as Opera Chorus of the Year by Opernwelt as crowning achievement.
DNO director Sophie de Lint: 'Congratulations to Ching-Lien on this thrilling new appointment at the Paris opera, it is so well deserved. Ching-Lien has worked tirelessly, always striving for higher quality and with full dedication to our one-of-a-kind chorus. And this has not gone unnoticed! I wish Ching-Lien the best of luck and fulfilment in this beautiful new challenge in her career, and on behalf of DNO thank her for her especially inspiring work. We will definitely miss her.' Ching-Lien Wu: 'By chance, I was at a DNO rehearsal years ago, and since then dreamed of working there. This dream came true in 2014, when I was appointed as artistic manager of the chorus! Over all these years it has been a delight to work with exceptional conductors, directors, singers and artistic teams. It's a great pleasure to lead this chorus which has such huge potential. Each individual ensures that it is able to blossom. Each voice helps to make the sound richer. Together we aim to touch our audience's hearts. I'm so happy that I was part of this fantastic team!'Videos
