This illustrated study is a resource for opera scholars, opera
workers and opera lovers. It explores the field of opera studies in
three ways: Through history: Opera North is presented through a
historical lens within the UK operatic landscape. The chapter
amalgamates extensive archival resources and interview material,
including many illustrations from its 35 year history. Through
ethnography: the day-to-day workplace behaviour of an opera company
is explored in its rehearsal and performance spaces, and the
production cycle from first music rehearsal to first night is
traced through detailed observation and photographic records.
Through production analysis: selected productions of recent years
are given a dramaturgical focus, with aspects of conceptual,
textual and visual analysis. Opera North was founded as English
National Opera North in 1978. It became independent from English
National Opera in 1981 and holds a reputation for fostering
artistic talent, for adventurous programming choices and for high
production values. This study explores universal issues relating to
the production of opera, based on the very specific example of our
National Opera Company in the North.
