Marching On Together! Celebrating our Orchestra’s first week back playing together- and we’ve heard there’s something else to celebrate in #Leeds this week... Huge congrats @LUFC#MOT#ALAW
Puccini's TURANDOT premiered #OnThisDay in 1926.
To celebrate, here's Rafael Rojas with a special performance of the famous 'Nessun dorma' @TrinityLeeds (2017 – time flies!)
Rafael returns in #ONAida, opening @LeedsTownHall next week...
Puccini, one of the greatest opera composers of all time, died #OnThisDay 100 years ago.
Here's 'Nessun dorma' from his final opera Turandot, sung @TrinityLeeds by the very much missed Rafael Rojas (1963–2022) — a moment which has moved millions online over the past few years.
As a company, Opera North was established from @E_N_O more than 40 years ago in order to deliver opera across the North of England.
We offer our support to our friends and colleagues there facing difficult funding news this week. (1/3)
