This live-actioned reimagining of The Little Mermaid from Ursula’s perspective is stuffed full of jokes, pop tracks and neat effects. But when it comes to the message, the disco diva is clear, what happened under the sea to the self-indulgent Arial, was not the whole story.  

Elena Dee carries Ellen Kent’s pressure filled production of Madama Butterfly with a charged performance that shoulders every scene of Puccini’s iconic 1904 opera. 

Yann Martel’s award-winning tale of survival has made its journey onto the Lowry stage in breathtaking fashion. Bringing to life the imaginative classic with awe-inspiring visuals and an exceptional cast, Life of Pi showcases the power of theatrical magic.  

Opera North is turning the tables on the Lowry audience with an outwitting opera filled with frivolity, passion and cheek. Based on the Shakespeare comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor’s larger-than-life character Falstaff, this charming production infuses the timeless tale of misadventures into Opera North’s Green Season, which packages the production as sustainably as possible.
