What
We Do
We
actively challenge preconceptions of opera, breathing
new life into the classics, advocating lesser-known
works and championing musical theatre. Opera
North is one of the most respected opera
organisations in the country and has produced imaginative
opera over the last three decades. We have established
ourselves as one of the leading arts companies in
Europe.

Opera North
projects collaborates with innovative artists and
companies working in a variety of media, including
film and photographic art. See our projects
page for more details.
Our
critically acclaimed Chorus
and versatile Orchestra
also perform independently, constantly revitalising
their approaches to music-making. Visit our
concerts
page for the latest information.
Education is
a vital part of the work of the Company, and Opera
North Education
is a pioneer in the field. The team uses opera
and music theatre to inspire and develop creativity
not only in children but also young people, those
with disabilities and the wider community. The Company
has also created a collaborative partnership, Dare,
with the University Of Leeds.
'Opera
North is the canniest of companies. It consistently
comes up with ideas that expand audience taste and
challenge its own imagination…' - The
Financial Times, 2007
