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.   

Burning its own path in ballet, the Rambert experience is not one to be missed. With a knockout soundtrack and a reputation to uphold, the story of Thomas Shelby is accentuated with stunningly subtle visuals and extraordinary performances.

The Lowry audience should come prepared to lose themselves to a new love. La traviata may be the most performed opera to date, but Opera North’s passionate production ensures you will fall for the heartbreaking and tender tale all over again.

It is easy to lose yourself in Alice Walker’s 1982 Pulitzer Prize winning novel as she masterfully injects colour, humour and connection into see Celie’s lifeless world.
