Orpheus - Opera North

Directed by Anna Himali Howard

With Nicholas Watts, Ashnaa Sasikaran, Kezia Bienek, Kaviraj Singh and Yarlinie Thanabalasingam

Opera North’s adventurous new production of an ancient tragedy is told through a meeting of the worlds of Indian and western baroque classical music. The bowed strings of the violin and the tar shehnai, the hammered strings of the santoor, the plucked strings of the harpsichord and sitar, and the rhythms of the tabla shape a unique musical encounter.
