Left Bank Opera and Festival
The Phil & Lit has awarded four grants to support young performers at the Left Bank Leeds, Cardigan Road.
The Phil & Lit has awarded four grants to support young performers at the Left Bank Leeds, Cardigan Road – a redundant church that’s become a successful cultural venue. The Society supported a five-day festival in 2018, with performances by Northern Opera Group, lectures, discussions and participatory sessions. The festival attracted wide audiences, including many younger people who had never been to Left Bank Leeds before.
