Former UK theatre director Sebastian Warrack has been named as the new chief executive of the Jersey Opera House.
The announcement comes just months after the theatre reopened in October following a five-year closure and a £12.5m makeover.
Mr Warrack, who was executive director at Wiltshire Creative and Salisbury Playhouse, said he was “hugely honoured” to have been appointed to run “this immaculately restored theatre”.
“I greatly look forward to working with its brilliant staff and board to develop the theatre’s next chapter together,” he said.
Laura Robertson, interim chair of the opera house board, said directors were “thrilled to welcome Sebastian… at such an exciting stage in our journey”.
She said his “proven leadership, deep industry knowledge and passion for the arts make him an exceptional choice to guide the organisation forward”.
