Grand Union is thrilled to announce the launch of ‘Open for Business’, a landmark operatic performance by Infinite Opera.

Unfolding on the city streets of Digbeth, Birmingham, ‘Open for Business’ follows the lives of four main characters, inspired by the imagined histories and speculative futures of the area’s artists, workers, and residents:

Dawn Aikenhead, nightclub owner and entrepreneur (Roxanne Korda).

Jenny Rogers, nee Johnson, grafitti artist and charity worker (Dalma Sinka).

Jerry Johnson, hospitality worker with big dreams (Clint Lesch).

Martin Clayton, ex-metalworker turned developer (HoWang Yuen).

Infinite Opera invites audiences to celebrate Digbeth’s rich cultural and industrial heritage through orchestral music, live song and theatrical performance. As part of your experience, you will be provided with a detailed route map and guided through the opera by one of the four main characters.

Tickets to ‘Open for Business’ are free, but spaces are limited. To learn more about ‘Open for Business’ and find our access information, please visit our website: https://www.grand-union.org.uk/whats-on/live-performance-open-for-business-by-infinite-opera
