Thrilling Carmen from @Opera_North tonight. Chorus and orchestra as fine as ever, superb soloists, a witty, bold production, and all those sinuous, seductive melodies. Bravo!

Big up @Opera_North – until yesterday I’d avoided opera (I’m 53) thinking it elitist. I was wrong, I LOVED it! Wish I’d been brave enough to wait at the stage door for selfies (if that’s even a thing at opera?) and it turns out it’s not a ‘band’. That aside, awesome!#ONCarmen

Saw #onCarmen last night @GrandTheatreLS1 My first ever Opera, really captivated by genius set and fab cast. I wasn’t expecting it to be so funny and sassy! Carmen – she was born free and she’ll die free fellas ?? https://t.co/16CC0zsUT5

Fantastic to be at live opera for first time in over 2 years. Magnificent, imaginative, innovative production of Carmen. Thank you @Opera_North you’re just brilliant. We so need live music and theatre. Next up Bernstein double bill! pic.twitter.com/CBQIWYkCAY
