Editing Opera North (section)

===Musical theatre===
Opera North has also given performances of musical theatre works. The first was [[Jerome Kern]]'s ''[[Show Boat]]'' (in collaboration with the [[Royal Shakespeare Company]]) in 1989, and productions of [[Gershwin]]'s ''[[Of Thee I Sing]]'' and [[Stephen Sondheim|Sondheim]]'s ''[[Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street|Sweeney Todd]]'' followed in 1998. A joint production with West Yorkshire Playhouse of Sondheim's ''[[Into the Woods]]'' was staged in Leeds in 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2016/jun/12/into-the-woods-review-west-yorkshire-playhouse|title = Into the Woods review – Opera North casts spell on Sondheim fairytale|website = [[TheGuardian.com]]|date = 12 June 2016}}</ref> Latterly, the works of [[Kurt Weill]] have become something of a speciality, with productions of ''[[Love Life (musical)|Love Life]]'' (1996), ''[[One Touch of Venus]]'' and ''[[The Seven Deadly Sins (ballet chanté)|The Seven Deadly Sins]]'' in 2004, ''[[Der Kuhhandel|Arms and the Cow]]'' in 2006, and ''[[Street Scene (opera)|Street Scene]]'' in 2020.
