The collaboration of Opera North and South Asian Arts is a thrilling celebration of renaissance opera and Indian classical music.

Janáček’s satirical opera The Excursions of Mr Brouček may not be among his greatest dramatic works, yet it earns its place in the limelight for its musical, visual and dramatic wit at Grange Park Opera.

Opera North's revival of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro directed by Jo Davies and conducted by Antony Hermus at Leeds Grand Theatre is still full of comic exuberance.

Virginie Verrez acted not with fire and ice but with gallic insouciance.

In 1724, Handel's Giulio Cesare was a vehicle for star singers Senesino and Francesca Cuzzoni. Maria Sanner and Lucie Chartin step into their shoes with great success for this Opera North revival. 

Verdi's most political of operas brilliantly highlights the juxtaposition of personal desires and political imperatives
