Mozart's Marriage of Figaro in the imagination of Opera North brings "Downton Abbey" to meet "Upstairs Downstairs" in this new production set in the 1920s. Mozart and Da Ponte's comedy of manners based on Beaumarchais classic will delight you in this sparkling production. It is a game of cat and mouse as servants Susanna and Figaro outwit their philandering employer, Count Almaviva with the help of the Countess in teaching him a lesson on fidelity and love. Filled with some of Mozart's most delightful music and vocal fireworks, this production laughs at the foibles of love and relationships. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Man of La Mancha by Dale Wasserman, Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion is one of the most enduring and favorite musicals ever written. Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote the musical won five Tony Awards and was revived on Broadway four times. In this tale of the adventures of the mad knight, his manservant Sancho Panza and his muse Aldonza/Dulcinea there are windmills to battle, damsels to save and a quest to follow. The score, overflowing with beauty, hope and inspiration, gives Opera North Resident Artists the opening to dream an Impossible Dream.
