You’re too kind! It was a great night though. Far from confirmed but hoping Bradford Opera Festival will be back in the autumn of 2024, returning with that legendary triumvirate of high art, comedy and flat caps. Bradford 2025

This is fantastic. Can we get Bradford Opera Festival providing similar opportunities for children in Bradford? As a kid my love of Opera was fostered by @LeedsYouthOpera and there weren't as many opportunities in Bradford!

Gradely review of The Barber of Seville in today’s Observer! Bradford Opera Festival

“the sense of good humour that permeated orchestra and singers alike in the creation of a performance of vigorously prosecuted skill and roof-lifting joy.” 😊😊

“A delightful premiere, seamlessly blending the opulence of opera with the comforting warmth of local expression, it leaves an indelible mark on the cultural canvas of Bradford.” 😊😊😊
