Blending playful storytelling with the thrill of a classic all-ages whodunnit, Opera North’s The Big Opera Mystery brings an unforgettable afternoon of live music and laughter to Lowry this November.
Created especially for children aged 5–12, this lively, family-friendly show from Opera North offers the perfect first step into the world of opera, brimming with humour, adventure and irresistible songs in a fun, interactive format lasting just under an hour.
An expert thief is on the loose, and only an audience of budding sleuths can crack the case. With magnifying glasses at the ready, young detectives will join the Orchestra of Opera North to follow the clues, meet a cast of larger-than-life operatic suspects and nab the suspect through music and teamwork.
Packed with imagination, surprises and sing-along fun, this joyful introduction to live performance is ideal for families and first-time opera-goers alike.
