Delighted to announce three of our artists will appear in Opera North’s 2025/26 season.
Following acclaimed performances as Queen of the Night this season, Nazan Fikret returns to Opera North as First Niece in Phyllida Lloyd’s production of Peter Grimes. Additonally, Binny-Supin Yang joins Opera North covering this role.
Making his company debut Mark Nathan joins the Opera North Youth Chorus and Youth Orchestra as Count Heinrich in Judith Weir’s historical comic thriller, The Secret of the Black Spider. Following that he returns as The Banana in David Fennessy’s Pass the Spoon, a sort-of opera about cookery – a darkly comic feast of words, music and puppetry, made with decidedly adult ingredients. Mark will then understudy the role of Ned Keene in Peter Grimes.
Making her company debut Lauren Young is the mezzo soloist in The Big Opera Mystery – a family show and musical extravaganza where some of the suspects are some of the greatest opera characters of all time.
