Sir Richard Mantle is due to retire from Opera North in December.
The long-serving director of Opera North has been awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours.
Sir Richard announced his retirement last year and said at the time he felt "incredibly fortunate" to have held one of the "best opera jobs in the UK and further afield". He joined Opera North in 1994 after previous roles as managing director at Edmonton Opera in Canada, at Scottish Opera and as deputy managing director at English National Opera.
