What's On
The new decade hails a period of new and exciting work from Opera North, re-positioning the Company as a vital arts organisation within the cultural landscape.
Framing the year on the mainstage are the popular The Merry Widow and Carmen, whilst probing into Opera North’s darkside are three operas based on novels; From the House of the Dead, The Turn of the Screw and The Portrait.
The Howard Assembly Room continues to grow from strength to strength, offering eclectic combinations of classical and contemporary events, often tailored uniquely for the space and regularly selling out performances. Keep an eye out for free ‘Twilight’ events, workshops for children and the third art installation in as many years.
The Orchestra of Opera North takes a bold step forward with Der Ring des Nibelungen, a development of the ‘Opera in Concert’ series, under the leadership of Music Director Richard Farnes.
Look out for a special ‘Christmas at the Grand’ season, with the return of The Adventures of Pinocchio, joining The Merry Widow in a family orientated Christmas season at Leeds Grand Theatre.
