Filmed live at Leeds Grand Theatre in June 2023, the stage production combined Mozart’s awe-inspiring choral masterpiece with the intensely expressive physicality of two leading contemporary dance ensembles.
The international collaboration saw Leeds-based Opera North and Phoenix Dance Theatre join forces with South African partners Jazzart Dance Theatre and Cape Town Opera as part of LEEDS 2023 Year of Culture.
