Ending Opera North’s three-show season at the Lowry, Street Scene turns up the heat with a powerfully cinematic take on Kurt Weill’s, 1946 opera. Capturing the vibrant world of an apartment complex, the production plays out the sordid tales and diverse voices of New York’s 1940’s melting pot, over two scalding summer days.

Doc and Marty are taking Opera House audiences back to the 50’s to change the course of history. The foundations of the beloved 1985 film starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd remain, however, the franchise is preserving its original trilogy by rebooting the famous duo into musical territory, with a vibrant, original score.

The Marriage of Figaro follows a fierce set of complicated characters whose class, desires and pride fuel the fast-paced farce. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s tale, originally written in 1786, set against the French Revolution has been updated to pre-revolutionary Russia, allowing Opera North to confront a collapsing aristocratic rule in a new location.

Blurring the lines of its surreal world with a smoke-filled vision that veils the Lowry audience besides Odette’s moonlit lake, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s (BRB) enchanting production will leave onlookers spellbound by the classic retelling of the fable.
