As one of The Lowry’s partner companies, Opera North always mix their touring programme to bring something well-loved and something less well known. ‘The Bartered Bride’ is a perfect introduction to opera for those less well versed in the form, a jolly and comic tale of love triumphing over adversity, with some lovely folk tunes, dances which reflect the Bohemian setting and a spectacular circus scene.
What’s more, it's sung in English, so you couldn’t ask for a better way in.
