Taipei, Feb. 7 (CNA) The Opéra National de Paris on Thursday named Taiwanese Wu Ching-lien (吳淨蓮) as its new chorus master, making her first woman to be appointed to that position. The offer of that position represents huge recognition and is a challenge for me, Wu told CNA in a telephone interview.
Wu will leave her job at the Dutch National Opera, where she has been serving as chorus master since 2014, and will take up the new position in France in April.
