Greg Mulholland MP for Leeds North West has been made a patron of Leeds Youth Opera and will attend a rehearsal this Saturday as part of his role.
The Youth Opera is one of only 3 independent operas in the country and has won numerous awards. The Opera members range in age from 12 to 25 and a drawn from schools, collages and universities from across Leeds.
The opera, which practices every Saturday at Spen Lane in Greg' s constituency, has been around for thirty years and is considered by many to be one of Leeds' finest cultural achievements.
Greg said "I am very honoured to have been made a patron of the Leeds Youth Opera. They are a superb local group and I delighted to support them. The dedication shown by the members and everyone involved is terrific; they should be applauded for all their hard work."
"Their performances are critically acclaimed and I would recommend people to go along to see their performance of Idomeneo in February which I am sure will be superb.
Idomeneo will be performed at the Carriageworks in Millennium Square between the 6th and 9th February. Tickets can be purchased from the box office on 0113 224 3801
