Michael Francis Lynch, CBE, AM, is, since 2002, chief executive of the South Bank Centre, London's pre-eminent collection of venues for music and art on the south bank of the Thames. It includes the Royal Festival Hall, (undergoing major refurbishment in 2005-7), the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Purcell Room and the Hayward Gallery. The centre is adjacent to the National Theatre, the National Film Theatre and the London Eye.
Michael Lynch was previously director of the Sydney Opera House (from 1998). He was formerly General Manager of the Australia Council, the Federal Government’s arts funding and advisory body (1994-98) and had been General Manager of the Sydney Theatre Company (1989-94).
Lynch has overseen the successful rehabilitation of the Royal Festival Hall, which was re-opened in October 2007 by The Queen (King George VI having opened the original building in 1951).
Lynch was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia AM in the Queen's Birthday Honours List of 2001 for services to arts administration (principally as Chief Executive of the Sydney Opera House) and in 2008 he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the Birthday Honours.
