Curran bows out as artistic director of Norwegian National Opera

Artistic director Paul Curran will leave his post at the Oslo Opera House by year's end.

Paul Curran has announced he is leaving his post as artistic director of the Norwegian National Opera. He will depart at the end of the year, two years before the end of his contract.

Curran, 42, says he made his decision and handed in his resignation last December, but that he was asked to reconsider.  However, he now feels it is time to move on.

Curran is from Glasgow and was originally a dancer by profession.

The work to find a new artistic director at the Oslo Opera will start immediately.
