NOS Residency with Opera North

Recently, our 2022/23 Young Artists were in Leeds on a week-long residency with our partner Opera North, performing our latest showcase Cautionary Tales. Conducted by Opera North’s Music Director Garry Walker and woven together by acclaimed opera director Olivia Fuchs, Cautionary Tales featured scenes by some of today’s most exciting contemporary opera composers including Tom Coult, Tansy Davies, Jonathan Dove, Søren Nils Eichberg, Elena Kats-Chernin, Steven Mackey, Errollyn Wallen and Judith Weir.

Planet Hugill said “…the eleven vocalists demonstrated their abilities across an enormous range of emotions, musical styles and narrative approaches.” Read the full review here.
