Sarasota Opera announced that Michael Chang has joined as Director of Marketing and Public Relations.

“We are all very excited to welcome Michael to the Opera,” Executive Director Susan Danis said. “His amazing background in opera, cultural tourism, education, and (of course) marketing coupled with his love of music make him the perfect fit for the position. He also has an infectious smile and a great sense of humor.”
“I’m so pleased and excited to be joining the team of professionals at Sarasota Opera, an organization that has been on my radar for many years as a performer, an educator, an arts administrator, and most importantly, as an unabashed lover of great opera performance,” Chang says. “Sarasota Opera is considered a precious gem in the world of opera and performing arts. I look forward to working closely with my colleagues, and, of course, meeting the Sarasota community of opera lovers. Sarasota used to be a frequent stop on my holiday itinerary; now it’s going to be my home. What more can anyone ask?”
