Live
theatre, opera and dance have the capacity to transform and
influence lives. At the heart of Opera North is a passion
for nurturing hearts and minds both young and not so young.
Opera North Education has undertaken
over 1,000 projects involving young people but due to a lack
of space within the theatre, the final shows are performed
off-site in school halls and community centres, thereby missing
the chance to bring young people into a vibrant theatrical
backdrop.
The
restoration of the Assembly Rooms will enable Opera North
Education projects to be performed within the heart and soul
of the theatre.
For the very
first time the projects will be open to a wider audience to
inspire people of all ages and from all backgrounds. Other
creative residencies and productions will also be possible
thanks to Transformation.
