Who will win this game of love?       Less than two weeks until we open Così fan tutte!   The opera follows the fate of two sisters and their fiancés as they navigate a game of love engineered by puppet master Don Alfonso...    We caught up with our four lovers – Alexandra Lowe and Heather Lowe, opera sisters by role (not by blood!), and Anthony Gregory and Henry Neill. They shared their favourite moments from the opera, discussed their lavish costumes, and explained why booking your tickets to this Mozart masterpiece is an absolute must!         Let’s hear it for the girls   “The Dorabella – Fiordiligi bond is always a special one. With Heather, it was an instant connection. With the same surname, we keep wondering if we’re actually distant relations – how funny would that be?” — Alexandra Lowe (Fiordiligi)   Read more from our "sisters" below...      Oh boy! Oh boy!   "My favourite part of the opera is the two ensembles in Act I just before the boys go off to war – the quintet ‘Please write me letters’ followed by the trio ‘May breezes blow lightly’ are absolutely ravishing." — Anthony Gregory (Ferrando)   Get to know the boys 👇       The story of Così fan tutte…   Join our lovers in the rehearsal studio for an impressively speedy run through of the story – 3 hours summed up in 60 seconds (give or take!)    Stick around for the bloopers at the end 😂       Also on this winter...   Passion. Obsession. Revenge.   Strap yourself in for Mascagni's one-act wonder, Cavalleria rusticana, followed by Rachmaninov’s electrifying Aleko. There’s heartbreak, betrayal, secret romances, a double dose of murder, and some music that you might recognise (hint: The Godfather Part III).         Opera North Ltd.  Howard Opera Centre 8 Harrison Street Leeds LS1 6PA Box Office: 0113 223 3600 Registered Charity No. 511726 © Opera North 2024

The Bradford-Renduchintala Enterprise Ecosystem Launch Event  Wednesday 24 January 2024 - 16:30pm to 19:30pm University of Bradford Campus, BD7 1DP   Are you a budding entrepreneur? Do you have an idea that could create a change-making business?  Or could you support an entrepreneur through mentoring or by sharing your expertise?   If you are interested in how the University of Bradford could support you in turning your idea into a reality or if you think you could support budding entrepreneurs, it would be great to see you at the launch of the Bradford-Renduchintala Enterprise Ecosystem (BREE) on Wednesday 24 January 2024.  BREE will nurture budding entrepreneurs to develop and grow successful businesses, playing a pivotal role in unlocking the potential and growth of our diverse and entrepreneurial city. The launch of BREE will be a great opportunity to find out more about this exciting initiative through engaging and interactive sessions, demonstrating how you can benefit, contribute to, and support the ecosystem.  There will also be the opportunity to network and meet with like-minded individuals and successful entrepreneurs, including Dr Murthy Renduchintala whose significant donation, and vision, has helped to make BREE happen. Spaces for the event are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To secure your place, please complete the event booking form no later than Friday 19 January 2024. Book now       Find out more and book your place       "What we are trying to do with BREE is to emulate what has been popular and prolific in many areas of the US and other parts of the world, where academic research ultimately leads towards ground-breaking transformations in real life. “This was entrepreneurs in the making who were doing research and undergraduate projects who decided to take those ideas and make them into game-changing commercial entities. But they required a support environment and a gathering of advisers and well-wishers that could chaperone those plans, not just through the good idea phase, but how to create a business entity, and how to ultimately get that business entity developing products that ultimately consumers can see, touch and feel. And that’s what we are trying to do here.” - Dr Venkata Murthy Renduchintala        Find out more and book your place   Book your place Update your alumni details   Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Instagram Email Website     Alumni and Development Office University of Bradford  Richmond Road, Bradford, BD7 1DP, UK +44 (0) 1274 23 2086 https://www.bradford.ac.uk/alumni/ alumni@bradford.ac.uk   The University of Bradford is a charity exempt from registration in England and Wales, our HMRC reference number is XN6997   Copyright © 2024 University of Bradford Alumni,  All rights reserved.
