Sad news of the death of the distinguished conductor Elgar Howarth — who premiered Ligeti’s Le Grand Macabre and four operas by Birtwistle, and was principal guest conductor of Opera North — at the age of 89.
We open Kurt Weill's LOVE LIFE Leeds Grand Theatre tonight — here's a sneak peek into final stage rehearsals! Sound to hear the Orchestra of Opera North in action... Explore 👉 bit.ly/ONLoveLife Supported by The Kurt Weill Foundation for Music
Opening night for Love Life — here's a first look! Leeds Grand Theatre until Saturday 👉 bit.ly/ONLoveLife If you can't make a performance, the show will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 8 Feb (and available on BBC Sounds afterwards), and look out for the official cast recording
📣 The big night is here! This evening, Opera North's much-anticipated production of LOVE LIFE opens at the Leeds Grand Theatre in Leeds, UK. 📸: “Here I’ll Stay.” Sam (Quirijn de Lang) and Susan (Stephanie Corley) on the cusp of their relationship’s journey through time. #kurtweill
Go and see Opera North’s Love Life. You won’t be sorry. Weill doesn’t know how to pull a punch and the production really captures his anger and his despair – and ultimately his optimism. Honestly, even if you think you don’t like opera, go.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from The Times and The Sunday Times: Love Life is "ingeniously staged" Shows tonight and tomorrow! The Kurt Weill Foundation for Music thetimes.com/culture/theatr…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from theartsdesk.com for Love Life: "Brilliantly reconstructed... the piece requires resources that few organisations could bring, and possibly only Opera North, with its large chorus body all capable of taking outstanding roles, could even attempt it today"
★★★★★ from The Telegraph: "Rip-roaring... bring on the recording, and some more revivals" If you couldn't make our Love Life performances, look out for the BBC Radio 3 broadcast on 8 Feb, and official cast recording! telegraph.co.uk/opera/what-to-…

Fabulous birthday night out in Leeds at the Grand Theatre for The Magic Flute! Hats off to all cast and crew! Opera North
We absolutely loved watching the Opera North performance of #ONMagicFlute last night. Brilliant soloists, chorus and orchestra with amazing sets, lights and costumes. It was fabulous. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me 👏👏 Highly recommend
Opera North really enjoyed the Magic Flute tonight. The plot is bonkers, but the music is sublime. Strong performances all round but I particularly liked Soraya Mafi . Brava signora and thanks to all of you for a wonderful evening.
