A look at Opera North's 1994 World Premiere of Benedict Mason and Howard Brenton's English football opera, "Playing Away". Starring Philip Sheffield as star footballer Terry Bond, Rebecca Caine as his pop-star wife L.A. Lola, and Richard Stuart as Stan Stock. Directed by David Pountney. Note that this opera is pre-"Posh and Becks".
Also in this clip, an insightful interview with footballer Graeme La Saux

I wish I could get a video of the whole opera. I saw the production in Leeds and it was great!
