WOS Radio: Edward Seckerson Talks to Opera North
Over the last decade Opera North Podcasts have been developing ways in which they can supplement and enhance the work happening on the company’s main stage. Related projects in other disciplines – film, drama, visual arts – have essentially created an arts company within an opera company. The arrival of the Howard Assembly Room – arguably the most versatile and beautiful space of its kind in the country – has in turn had a huge creative impact on the way in which these projects evolve.
Life Cycle is a collection of twenty short songs written by Toby Litt and Emily Hall and performed by Mara Carlyle whose voice has lately been all over YouTube on the soundtrack of Ikea’s feline TV ad. A return visit, too, from the popular Northumbrian English folk group The Unthanks.
