Take a look at these great production images for My Fair Lady, a new co-production with Opera North and Leeds Playhouse.
The newly released images of Lerner and Loewe’s classic musical, featuring leading soprano Katie Bird and star of stage and screen John Hopkins in the roles of Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins, showcase the vibrant, dynamic, and visually stunning adaptation, which runs until 29 June.
Directed by Leeds Playhouse’s Artistic Director James Brining, My Fair Lady promises to enchant audiences with its unforgettable music, played live by the Orchestra of Opera North, and its fresh, innovative approach to the classic narrative. The images capture the essence of the production, highlighting the dazzling costumes and elaborate sets designed by Madeleine Boyd and the electric energy of Lucy Hind’s choreography. They also capture the vivacity and spirit of the principal cast of nine performers, several of whom are artists from the Chorus of Opera North, and the company’s full-time professional ensemble, who transport audiences to Edwardian London with authenticity and flair.
James Brining, who recently directed the Playhouse’s hit production of Oliver!, said: “Our goal with My Fair Lady is to honour the original while bringing a contemporary perspective to this brilliant and much-loved musical. The cast and crew have poured their hearts into this show, and the newly released images are a lovely glimpse of the magic we’re creating on stage.”
