We are constantly developing new projects as part of our exciting collaboration, and these combine to make up The OPERAting Theatre.

Like a teaching hospital for opera, The OPERAting Theatre is a forum for debate, interaction and experimentation. We are confident it will become synonymous with extensive and ambitious projects:

• Artists and students explore radical new ways of working and performing
• Conferences encourage debate and challenge traditional thinking
• Internships and work placements are offered to students by Opera North
• Outreach work engages communities in the joy of creativity and academic achievement
• Pre-show talks give audiences a deeper insight into opera as an art form
• Research explores the creation, production and cultural context of opera
