Thomas Cockrell, Artistic Director
Conductor Thomas Cockrell (artisticdirector@opera.org) was appointed artistic director of Opera in the Ozarks in October 2010. No stranger to Inspiration Point, Cockrell served as its music director for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 seasons.
Cockrell is hard at work planning the 61st season of Opera in the Ozarks next summer. “I am honored and thrilled to return to Inspiration Point as artistic director. I am committed to building upon Opera in the Ozarks’ rich tradition while helping to lead it forward in an exciting period of promise. I look forward to working closely with the general director, the board and the staff to grow our program, nurturing excellence at every performance and in every artist.”
