Be the first to experience our powerful new production of Susanna.
Susanna is the victim of two powerful, predatory men out to destroy her reputation. As society swallows their lies and public opinion turns, she holds fast to her truth. It’s a compelling story for our times brought to life in a new production by director Olivia Fuchs and choreographer Marcus Jarrell Willis, who throw a critical lens on violence against women and gender-based injustice. This collaboration between Opera North and Phoenix Dance Theatre is set to some of Handel’s most memorably melodic music, with powerful choral moments for the Chorus of Opera North as well as touching solo arias.
Log in to your account to book your dress rehearsal tickets online, then select from the starred seats located in the Upper Circle. Two free tickets are available per membership, with two additional guest tickets available to purchase at £10 each*.
To access the dress rehearsal you must have booked a ticket for a performance of the same opera. If you have booked directly with one of our partner venues, or your booking has been made in someone else’s name, please contact the Opera North Box Office for assistance.
The performance includes integrated visual vernacular (physical performance drawing on sign language, mime and theatre techniques).
