Director Pierre Audi passed away

It is with great sadness that we have learned about the death of Pierre Audi (1957-2025), a visionary opera director, a builder of bridges between tradition and innovation, and artistic director of The National Opera and the Holland Festival for many years.

Pierre Audi was also a member of the committee of recommendation of Cappella Amsterdam. Hij sprak zich uit voor ons werk en droeg bij aan het vertrouwen in onze koers. In his years of leadership within the Dutch music scene, he advocated for collaboration with ensembles like ours, and we were able, in a context he helped create, to give choral music a place within the broader musical theater landscape.

His artistic vision will continue to inspire. Our thoughts are with his relatives.
