Opera North presents a star-spangled Broadway treat - George Gershwin's Pulitzer Prize-winning Of Thee I Sing.

Get swept up in the glitz and glamour of a 1930s election where democracy is the last thing on everyone's mind. Conducted by Mark Dorrell and directed by Caroline Gawn, Of Thee I Sing is given the unique Opera North treatment - great orchestra, big chorus and lavish production values - and a cast who can do full justice to Gershwin's magnificent music.

Of Thee I Sing is playing as part of Opera North's season at Sadler's Wells which also includes Skin Deep and Let 'Em Eat Cake.
