Opera North has published its 2011 – 2012 Review which takes stock of its work and achievements over the past 18 months. 

During the course of the review period Opera North was responsible for 337 public performances in 28 different venues and played to a geographically and socially broad audience of more the 237,000. This included more than 22,000 children, young people and adults through educational activities in communities across the North.

Opera North has been nominated in two categories of the inaugural International Opera Awards. The Company’s production of Norma has been nominated the new production category and Richard Farnes, Opera North’s music director, has been nominated in the conductor category. 

The Arts Council announced it has selected The Arts Fundraising and Philanthropy Consortium as the national delivery partner for its Transforming arts fundraising commissioned grant.

Today, Friday 7th December, saw Opera North launch In Harmony Leeds, a new large-scale community development project using music. 

Opera North is excited to present three very different works - all new productions - in three very different venues in the final part of the 2012/13 Season.
