Some shows have an interval ice cream. This one has five wines and five cheeses, served to you on the actual stage of a 124-year-old theatre. No understudies, no matinee. Just one very grown-up evening of grazing, where the greatest performance of the night is a perfectly ripe wedge of Brie meeting a very good glass of wine.

Taking to the Stage
Jordan Thomson, "The Goudafather"
Love Cheese owner, professional cheese pusher, and curator of cheeseboards you can't refuse.
Harry Baines, "The Big Cheese"
The face of Love Cheese virtual tastings, making sure every pairing earns its well-deserved round of applause.
Ben Thorpe, York on a Fork
Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Judge, bringing York's finest food knowledge to the stage. Because cheese this good deserves a proper introduction.
Nick Fildes, Amphora Annals
An actual sommelier. Your wine guide for the evening, pouring the good stuff and explaining exactly why each pairing works.
What's on the Bill
Five hand-picked cheeses. Five carefully selected wines. No awkward small talk about what goes with what. We'll do the talking, you do the tasting. Expect plenty of theatre from a cast who take cheese seriously and themselves not at all.
The Venue
Grand Opera House York has been putting on a show since 1902. For one evening only, the stage belongs to Brie instead of Beethoven.
One night only. Limited seats. This isn't a run, it's a one-off performance.

Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
