22. Dr Nicola Candlish: You need a lot of passion to create something really magical.
In the final episode of the series we speak with CEO of the British Youth Opera and Founder Director of Opera UK, Dr Nicola Candlish.
We hear Nicola’s story, from studying music at Durham University to building a career around her passion for the arts. We get an insight into an industry that, as Nicola says, is often shrouded in mystery and glamour and we get a real understanding of the challenges the industry faces in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The arts in particular have been devastated by the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, and we hear Nicola’s thoughts on some of the challenges ahead when the doors to theatres around the country can open again – as well as how we can help the industry recover when they do!
We explore Nicola’s role as a CEO, we find out about the British Youth Opera and the valuable work they do, and we hear all about Opera UK and how the organisation came to be founded. We also discuss her current MBA and Nicola shines a light on the ways in which management education and formalising your knowledge of business and strategy can add real value to the work that you do.
