Brothers Quay and Opera North

Quay Brothers: Orfeo (Part of 'Trading Spaces')
12 October – 20 January 2008

To coincide with Opera North's new production of Orpheus and Eurydice (which sees its 400th anniversary in 2007) the Gallery (Yorkshire Bank Gallery) hosts a large–scale 'model décor' of Eurydice's Realm in the Underworld.

'Orfeo' is part of the Art Gallery's 'Trading Spaces' project which looks at Leeds as a contemporary city which has its roots in the charter of 1207 when Leeds was first declared a town. 2007 marks the 800th year since the charter and a city–wide programme of events will be taking place as part of the Celebrate Leeds 2007 festival.
