The UKs second-largest urban area, a city built upon the shoulders of the Industrial Revolution, a place with deep ties to capitalism and communism and home to an ever-so-slightly popular football club, Manchester is an innovative city that has had its fair share of claims to fame. The fame and innovation continues with the Manchester International Festival, the worlds preeminent festival displaying exclusively original and reimagined work and special events.
