Artiste: Molly Barker

Opera North’s The Flying Dutchman, directed by Annabel Arden, conjures up frightening storms and links the production to the plight of asylum seekers. 

Richard Farnes returns to Opera North to conduct and Sam Brown directs a concert staging of Wagner's final opera, Parsifal. 

Femi Elufowju's new staging of Verdi's classic is innovative, provocative and closely connected with the modern world.
