During the October half term, Opera North will be welcoming the community behind the scenes of its newly redeveloped building, the Howard Opera Centre, inviting everyone to come and find out more about the company and enjoy a programme of performances, talks and workshops.
Running from Monday 25 October, the Open Week will offer performances for all ages in the Howard Assembly Room, focus on accessibility on the main stage, and hold free Open Day: Backstage Pass and Family Festival days when the doors of the Howard Opera Centre will be thrown open so that people can see what the recent £18 million Music Works transformation has achieved and interact with the company in a variety of different ways.
