English Touring Opera have just announced their dates in Durham for their autumn productions. Following their triple bill of baroque opera last year, they’re bringing us more Handel on 5 November – this time it’s Ottone – one of his finest tragedies, packed with arias that are regularly performed in concert. The other production, on 4 November is Haydn’s witty comedy Life on the Moon.

Tickets for each are £26 but there’s an early bird offer – use code ETO EARLY BIRD by phone or in person, and get tickets for both shows for just £43
