Judy Lisi has announced that she is retiring from her role as CEO of the Straz Center in Tampa, Florida, Tampa Bay Times reports.

Before coming to Tampa, Lisi was general director of the New Haven Opera Company, where she produced more than 20 fully-staged operas with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra.
