What's On

An exciting 2009/10 season in the main theatre and our new Howard Assembly Room awaits, with new commissions, World Premieres and eclectic combinations.

Following a tour in August to the internationally acclaimed Bregenz Festival in Austria, Opera North opens the new season with Mozart’s much-loved Cosi fan tutte and continues with the offbeat Janáček's comedy The Adventures of Mr Brouček and Massenet's lush Werther. The autumn season ends with the deeply intriguing and newly commissioned family opera, Swanhunter.

Puccini’s La Bohème, Gilbert & Sullivan's Ruddigore, Dvorák’s Rusalka and Donizetti’s dramatic Maria Stuarda are part of the full season.

The Idea of North, intertwining Opera North’s geographical northern location with other elements of ‘far’ northern culture, such as Icelandic music and Norse mythology, open an interesting and diverse season in the Howard Assembly Room.
