Opera Correspondent Robert Hamilton maintains a steady watch over operatic events in the North of England.
Opera Review: Katya Kabanov by Leoš Janáček, Opera North, The Lowry
About a third way of the way through Opera North’s Spring season we moved away from the 18th Century absurdism of late Mozart to the early days of the 20th Century, and three works made in the shadow of the First World War.
Opera Review: The Magic Flute, Opera North, The Lowry
The excitement in the office at OperaWatch was palpable.
Opera Review: Mary’s Hand, Lancaster Priory Church
I was going to start with that old OperaWatch standby: “It’s been a quiet time here at OW offices.”
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.
Review: Tosca, Opera North, The Lowry
It’s been a quiet couple of months here in the OperaWatch office at Northern Soul Towers.
Opera Review: The Daughter of the Regiment, Buxton Opera House
This is Northern Soul’s second visit to the prestigious Buxton International Festival in what I hope will become an annual trip.
Review: Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill, Opera North, City Varieties, Leeds
Off to Leeds again for a night of musical entertainment courtesy of Opera North, West Yorkshire Playhouse and the City Varieties Music Hall, carried across the moors in a timely manner by TransPennine Express.
Review: Kiss Me Kate, Opera North, Leeds Grand Theatre
This is a revival of Opera North’s magnificent production of Cole Porter’s Shakespearian parody Kiss me, Kate, staged by the company in 2015.
Review: Madama Butterfly and Un Ballo In Mascera, Opera North, The Lowry, Salford
A red carpet was introduced at The Lowry for Opera North’s revival of Madama Butterfly by Puccini.
Review: Cinderella, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester
As I write, a real Cinderella story is being played out in the pages of the rabidly, sycophantically Royalist British press.
