Irish soprano Maìre Flavin, recently in the title role of Opera North’s La traviata, will be heard here in more intimate surroundings, alongside Opera North’s Head of Music David Cowan.
Together, they will treat us to some of their favourite songs, from composers such as Dowland, Purcell and Schubert. At the heart of the programme is Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder, five songs based on poems by Friedrich Rückert, including the haunting ‘At midnight’ and the beautiful song of farewell, ‘I am lost to the world’, whose closing lines are ‘I live alone in my heaven, in my love, in my song’.
Kino will be open for lunch before the concert, we recommend booking no later than 90 minutes before the start time.
Kino’s seasonal pre-theatre menu is a little bit French, a lot British, and Yorkshire through and through.
Featuring players from the staff and Orchestra of Opera North, our Distilled series explores new ways in which to present classical music. A chance to experience small ensembles interacting at close quarters, each of these shorter programmes offers an intense experience of chamber music in its purest essence.
A year-round festival of music, performance and ideas, in the heart of Leeds.
