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. For full programme details please visit www.tete-a-tete.org.uk. The Song of Margery Kempe - Where Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads meets The Exorcist - surely an experience not to be missed! Far Away and Long Ago - Did you enjoy fairy stories as a child? This production puts the grim into the Brothers Grimm with a dark re-telling of some of the old classics. High Noon to Jacko's Hour - Imagine the classic Western High Noon, retold on a funfair in Leeds 2009. A taut, twisting, thriller with a cliff-hanger of an ending. Hold on to your seats!
