Join us for an evening of theatre magic as pupils from schools across Leeds join forces to perform a specially commissioned arrangement of Englebert Humperdinck’s Hansel & Gretel by composer Will Cole.

Over the course of the week we will be joined by children from Kings Meadow Academy, New Bewerley Community Academy, Allerton Bywater, Westgate Primary, Ebor Gardens and Clapgate primary schools. They will be performing as part of a massed choir, accompanied by professional singers and members of the Orchestra of Opera North.

On Saturday 20 June the Children’s Chorus of Opera North will open the tour.

On Thursday 25 June students from our In Harmony Opera North choir at Richmond Hill Academy, Windmilll, Low Road, Sharp Lane and Ling Bob primary schools will take to the stage.
