Northern Stages Launch Event

On Thursday 25 February at 19:00, we are hosting a special event to officially launch our 40th birthday project Northern Stages.

This exciting, new project started with a celebratory bang in January with our Burns' Night event, and then the Class of '76 performances earlier this month. Next Thursday we are gathering together friends and colleagues of the theatre to divulge more about what Northern Stages has in store for the rest of our birthday year.

We are marking this project launch with the opening of My Secret Heart - a Streetwise Opera commissioned music and film installation, written by electronic composer and Warp artist Mira Calix, video artists Flat-e and sound designer Dave Sheppard. They worked with around 100 Streetwise performers from across the UK to create a unique work which you can experience at Northern Stage as an immersive 360 degree installation.

Visit My Secret Heart in Stage 2 from Tuesday 23 - Saturday 27 February, 10:00 - close. You can also learn more about how this links to our exploration of northernness, by reading Streetwise Opera's Matt Peacock's ideas on our theme here in our Extras section.

We hope you'll join us next week (Thursday 25 February) for our official launch, which is a chance to celebrate our birthday project, see this installation and watch a special live Streetwise performance. To register your attendance simply email info@northernstage.co.uk
