Opera director Jacqueline Coats was the recipient of the 2019 Pettman Dare Fellowship, and last year she headed off to northern England where she spent the first six months of the Fellowship working with Opera North in combination with study for a Diploma in Arts Education Management at the University of Leeds.
Due to Covid-19, she's now back in New Zealand to complete her studies.
Jacqui talks with David Morriss about the Fellowship, and the projects she'll be working on over the next few months.
