Eight Little Greats
Stephanie Hughes presents two more short operas from Opera North's 25th anniversary season at the Grand Theatre in Leeds.
Francesca da Rimini
In 1904, for the third and last of his one-act operas, Rachmaninov turned to a story of doomed love, jealousy, and double murder from Dante's Inferno. Director David Pountney.
Opera North Orchestra, conductor Martn Ancre
Pagliacci
Leoncavallo's 1892 drama of infidelity and jealousy in a cemmedia del'arte troupe of actors, also ends in a double murder. However, he composed his popular classic in the "reality soap-opera" style of the late 19th centuryverismo. Director Christopher Alden sets the intrigue within an ageing pop band.
