Superb evening as an U30 @Opera_North member seeing Katya Kabanova @GrandTheatreLS1 ! Stunning performance from the orchestra, Stephanie Corley and Sian Edwards conducting. Very moving ? #ONKatya #openingnight

What sound-world! What colours in Janacek’s orchestral writing! Act 2!! Fantastic production of #ONKatya tonight, totally done justice by @Opera_North orchestra – felt like they were in their element exploring every dimension of volume, rhythm, tone & texture this evening.

Excellent performance of Katya Kabanova @Opera_North this evening with the vivid drama and colour of Janáček’s score coming across superbly ?

Great singing from everyone tonight #ONKatya but for me the real stars of the show were the wonderful orchestra @Opera_North . Great job Sian Edwards and team .

Saw @Opera_North Katya Kabanova tonight and it was gorgeous! Just booked to see the Rite of Spring and feeling super greatful for the Under 30s scheme, @BJPalmz and I have saved £140 over the two performances ???? making opera super accessible!

Katya Kabanova last night @Opera_North is still haunting me this morning. Such harsh pursed-lipped repression, spartan yet beautiful design, and desperate sadness. Best wishes for the #ONKatya tour x
