He is well known for his work with the Prince George Symphony and Vancouver Opera. But in the last little while his career has been on a fast track to a new level: He's the new conductor of the Vancouver Academy's orchestra; he's been working at Santa Fe Opera; and he's the new guy at the helm of the Vancouver Bach Choir.
This summer, Dala's Santa Fe gig included helping to bring Lewis Spratlan's Life is a Dream to the stage - after a wait of just 32 years. At the Back Choir, Dala's premiere season shows respect for tradition and unbridled enthusiasm for new endeavours. Along with such repertoire cornerstones as Handel's Messiah, he'll conduct Berlioz's oratorio/opera The Damnation of Faust and Rachmaninov's Vespers.
And if Messiah isn't enough holiday season work, Dala will conduct Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker with the Goh Ballet and members of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra.
