You’re invited to Opera Rave – a 30-minute sharing under club-inspired lights and visuals.

Opera Rave is a brand-new way to experience opera, fusing operatic libretto and singing styles with electronic beats – it’s part-opera, part-rave.

Opera Rave

The Grand Theatre & Opera House Leeds

This event will explore the opportunities and challenges, the successes and near misses, of producing opera in urban environments. We’ll hear from artists who have embraced presenting opera in new ways, in new spaces, to new audiences, and welcome an open discussion on a possible future for opera outside the opera house.

For hundreds of years, opera was largely confined to the Opera House; a marvelled space designed for the demands of large choruses and orchestras, big voices, and a monied clientele.

Increasingly, however, opera is being performed in different spaces; out of the opera house, and into the wilds of libraries, car parks, and shopping centres.
