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.

It will leave you laughing, spellbound and utterly entranced. The Emergency Recital - Hotfoot from his worldwide mission to spread operatic joy and pain, Richard Thomas is released for one night only: Glad to oblige, ready to annoy.
