Opera North is England's national opera company in the North. We are committed to producing high-quality, exciting and entertaining work.
What We Do
We actively challenge preconceptions of opera, breathing new life into the classics, advocating lesser-known works and championing musical theatre. Over the last three decades we have established ourselves as one of the leading arts organisations in the country and one of the most imaginative opera companies in Europe. Check out our current and upcoming seasons!
Opera North collaborates with innovative artists and companies working in a variety of media, including film and photographic art. See our Projects page for more details.
The critically acclaimed Chorus and versatile Orchestra also perform independently, constantly revitalising their approaches to music-making. Visit our Concerts page for the latest information.
Education is a vital part of the work of the Company, and Opera North Education is a pioneer in the field. The team uses opera and music theatre to inspire and develop creativity not only in children but also young people, those with disabilities and the wider community.
