Join the Orchestra of Opera North and a host of special guests this summer for an open-air concert brimming with classical favourites from stage and silver screen.

Let the epic thrills of John Williams’ most famous movie themes transport you to other worlds and even other galaxies. Be blown away by the vocal fireworks of opera’s biggest-hitters, with masterpieces from Bizet, Puccini and more.

Experience two richly inventive works for strings composed nearly 150 years apart: Johannes Brahms’ Sextet in G Major Op. 36 (1864), and American composer Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte (2011).

For this intimate and beautifully presented concert, Opera North’s sextet is led from the violin by the Orchestra’s newly appointed leader, Katie Stillman.
