Opera House Manchester
A collaboration between Sigur Rós's Jónsi and American composer Somers, this atmospheric ambient album is being performed live in its entirety for the first and only time on this one-off run of select shows.
Recorded at home in Iceland while Jónsi was on hiatus from Sigur Rós, and finished off-grid in Hawaii, the album became a sleeper hit, its stature growing over the years, with songs such as Happiness and Boy 1904 enjoying huge success across some of the world’s most listened to playlists.
Opera House Manchester
Originally The New Theatre, it opened on Boxing Day, 1912. It went through several iterations, being renamed once before becoming the Opera House in 1920. It's also been used for different functions; as a cinema in WW2, then a bingo hall before reopening as a theatre again in 1984. Since, it has hosted magnificent shows like Barnum and Phantom of the Opera.
