The reason for being in Bradford was to see the @operanorth.co.uk production of Simon Boccanegra. Well, it was absolutely magnificent and I believe they are taking it on tour now, so if you get the opportunity I’d urge you to go.

Fantastic performance of Simon Boccanegra by @operanorth.co.uk in Bradford, one of the best things I've seen them do in 40 or so years. Coming to Newcastle,Hull, Liverpool, Nottingham and London,if you get the chance to see it.
