Performer: Oliver Rundell

Opera North's Little Greats festival continues with two deeply contrasting short operas - a grimly tragic and austere version of Macagni's Cavalleria rusticana and a frothy and hilarious production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury.

A contrasting Double Bill of classic Purcell and a little-known French absurdist opera by Poulenc provides an entertaining evening of contrasts.

Puccini's La rondine at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is a two hour whirlwind of Parisian love, given a very stylish treatment.
