We are delighted to be co-commissioning, with Opera North, a new opera to be performed by our Youth Opera Company on Friday 31 July 2020. Based on Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant, the work has been written by John Barber (composer) and Jessica Duchen (librettist). Alongside professional soloists Matthew Tansley Stiff (Giant) and Barbara Cole Walton (Linnet), solo roles will be performed by members of the Youth Company.
