More on Opera North
Description from Wikipedia:
Opera North is a British opera company. Based in Leeds, England the Company's home theatre is the Leeds Grand Theatre, but it also presents regular seasons in several other cities, at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, the Lowry Centre, Salford Quays and the Theatre Royal, Newcastle. It also visits Sadler's Wells Theatre, London and, less regularly, the Bradford Alhambra, the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield, and other venues. The Company's orchestra, the Orchestra of Opera North, regularly performs and records in its own right. Operas are performed either in English or in the original language of the libretto, in the latter case usually with subtitles.
