Opera North returns to The Lowry from March 5-8 starting with a long-awaited and critically acclaimed new production of Puccini’s thrilling opera of the American West, The Girl of the Golden West, with Lancastrian soprano Alwyn Mellor as Minnie.
Dubbed ‘the original Spaghetti Western,’ it’s the story of true love and second chances, set in a tough mining camp during the California Gold Rush.
Joining the production is director Tim Albery's gripping production of Macbeth, which returns to the Company following the huge success of Albery’s Otello in Winter 2013.
This dramatic, modern-dress production depicts the vivid world of the supernatural through the “bleak and elegantly styled” design of Johan Engels.
