The Adventures of Pinocchio is brought bursting to life by award-winning composer Jonathan Dove and playwright Alasdair Middleton (The Young Vic’s The Enchanted Pig). David Parry conducts and Martin Duncan directs the irresistible story of the wooden boy who longs to be real.
Combining magical sets and costumes with a superb score, Opera North’s adaptation of this classic tale is a truly lavish production which opened in Leeds recently to rave reviews.
