First the three tenors put the opera into football, now Tête à Tête put the kick into opera. Taking the terraces by storm in a jubilant festival, we present our biggest programme yet: over thirty new works of entirely 21st century drama driven by music. Over an action packed three weeks we host up to six performances a night, where artists will strain every sinew to poke, prod, nudge, dribble and lovingly kick about this most immediate, engaging, sensual, consuming and sweaty of art-forms. The formation includes Opera North, Glyndebourne Education, Welsh National Opera, Impropera, over three hundred individual artists and a taste of future seasons' line ups for Tête à Tête.

Who Am I? - Once upon a time every child was a mermaid, transformed into human form and destined to live forever... until one night they are invited to return to the world of water. Songs For Our Age - Songs For Our Age The writing and life experience of two different generations of Welsh valley residents have been bought together by asking "what is it like to get old?" and "What will it be like when I am old?". Lite Bites - Lite Bites We round off the celebrations with a final showing of our 2009 flash-mob style mini operas which we will rehearse and develop all over Riverside Studios and the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
