Opera in the City The Orchestra of Opera North present: Opera in the City.  Featuring:

Welsh soprano Elin Pritchard – an Opera North favourite returns to Leeds to channel the joy and heartbreak of opera’s greatest heroines, including Mimì from Puccini’s La bohème and Dvořák’s Rusalka (‘Song to the Moon’).

The brilliant Korean tenor David Junghoon Kim will make his Opera North debut in selections including the haunting ‘Oh Lola, ch’ai di latte’ from Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, and perhaps the best-loved tenor aria of them all, ‘Nessun dorma’ from Puccini’s Turandot.

Outgoing Leader of the Orchestra of Opera North David Greed will front the ensemble for a last goodbye as soloist in Massenet’s moving Méditation from Thaïs, and there’s a special appearance from the Ukrainian soprano Inna Husieva, currently a Young Artist at the National Opera Studio.

Choose from an allocated seat in our seated area or experience our ‘picnic style’ area where you can bring your own chair, cushion or picnic blanket and relax in comfort in the Millennium Square.
