Classical Works @ the Clothworkers with the Orchestra of Opera North

The Orchestra of Opera North return to the University of Leeds International Concert Season with music by two of the greatest and most prolific composers of all time: Haydn and Mozart. Having conducted Opera North’s Puccini double bill over the past month, Dutch maestro Jac van Steen leads a programme of classical masterpieces perfectly designed to showcase the talents of the Orchestra.

Opening with Haydn’s Symphony no 22 in E flat ‘The Philosopher’, they will be joined by Opera North's Associate Artist, soprano Soraya Mafi, for Mozart’s Ah, lo previdi, originally written for his muse Josepha Duschek. The Symphony no 29, an early triumph completed when Mozart was eighteen, closes the programme.
