Artistic Director Leaves New Jersey State Opera (None Too Happily)

“Jason Tramm has resigned from the struggling company he has led since 2008, saying the board’s vision is no longer in sync with his own” – and submitted a bill for $80,000 of unpaid sevrices. Says the board president, “The performances weren’t up to par, he wasn’t following protocol … If he feels he has to go on to bigger and better things, God bless him.”
