An expert thief is on the loose, and only you can catch them!
Bring your thinking-caps, your magnifying glasses and all your crime-solving skills: this is a mystery like no other, where the suspects are some of the greatest opera characters of all time – and the detective is YOU!
This operatic extravaganza, with music played live by the Orchestra of Opera North, will give school children an inspiring first encounter with opera.
