Bob Riley, CEO of Manchester Camerata, has warned strongly against a proposed deal with Opera North that would demolish Northern Ballet Sinfonia. He’s calling for greater transparency and an awareness of the impact of any deal on the entire northern musical environment.

    Good for him. Glad that somebody with a voice near the high table is using it to highlight the plight of the musicians. Essentially Northern Ballet/Opera North tie up would be a “fire and hire” situation. It risks pushing a group of highly skilled musicians further into financial crisis. There is a massive big-picture problem with arts funding and support in the UK which has been brewing for a long time now.
