The Northern Opera Group has opened a live brief to help design the image for their Left Bank Opera Festival this year. This is an annual event that draws audiences from across the UK for a celebration of 'rare and wonderful operas.'
Their festival focuses on 3 Asian inspired operas:
Raymond Yiu’s ‘The Original Chinese Conjuror’
Gustav Holst’s ‘Savitri’
Camille Saint-Saens’ ‘The Yellow Princess’
From this selection, it is evident that the operas focus on South and East Asia, particularly China, India and Japan.
Most importantly the Northern Opera Group want their image to reflect the 'tension in the
relationship between Western opera, and Asia.' This tension needs to be identified in order to design an effective image for the festival.
