Review: The Intelligence Park, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester
There is an old joke that goes like this.
Review: Aida, Opera North, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Of all the iconic Italian operas, I had yet to see Verdi’s Aida.
Opera Review: Cavalleria Rusticana/Pagliacci, City of Manchester Opera, Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester
For some reason, May 23 stuck in my mind. It was an important day, but I couldn’t remember why. At my age, this happens with frightening regularity.

Opera Review: The Pilgrim’s Progress, Ralph Vaughan Williams, RNCM
At OperaWatch we always look forward to an invitation to the latest student production at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM).

It’s the end of a fantastic spring season by Opera North at Salford’s Lowry.
Opera Review: Katya Kabanov by Leoš Janáček, Opera North, The Lowry

The excitement in the office at OperaWatch was palpable.

Review: Suor Angelica/Gianni Schicchi, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester
Oh, the irony! I had to miss the Marx Brothers’ A Night at the Opera for a night at the opera.
