Primary 3 pupils had a musical treat this afternoon from @scottishopera when they watched the wonderful Giant’s Harp. Singing, harps, puppets and more. The children loved it. Thank you to the wonderful staff and performers. #scottishopera

Just catching up on some opera, as you do, but does watching your pals prancing about on stage ever become not funny? #ScottishOpera

Review: Trial By Jury / A Matter of Misconduct – Scottish Opera ★★★★ With its latest double bill, Scottish Opera offers a study in contrast and continuity: the enduring power of satire, from the gleefully anarchic world of Gilbert and Sullivan to the all-too-familiar farce of contemporary British politics. "Trial by Jury", given a zany reboot as a reality courtroom TV show, shares the stage with the premiere of "A Matter of Misconduct!", a new one-act operetta by Emma Jenkins and composer Toby Hession.

"This is operetta, not only for the nostalgic, but for the now." Scottish Opera impresses with a double-bill of cultural-political satire, one classic, one new.

Untitled A Mafia Makeover: Lehár’s Operetta Reimagined Scottish Opera’s latest reimagining of Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow confidently sidesteps the gilded nostalgia of Belle Époque Paris, landing instead in the noir-ish shadows of 1950s New York. This updated adaptation, co-produced with D’Oyly Carte Opera and Opera Holland Park, sets out to reconcile the operetta's sentimental froth with the sharper contours of post-war American cynicism.

"...by planting Lehár’s lovers among gangsters & grifters, Scottish Opera invites its audience to consider love as negotiation; a dangerous, vulnerable, thrilling risk.

Review: The Strauss Collection – Scottish Opera ★★★ Richard Strauss in Concert - Glasgow and Edinburgh At Glasgow’s Theatre Royal and Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, the Orchestra of Scottish Opera, under Stuart Stratford’s baton, recently delivered a concert of Richard Strauss excerpts showcasing musical precision and vocal strength. Drawing from Ariadne auf Naxos, Arabella, and Der Rosenkavalier, the performance leaned on the ensemble’s orchestral clarity and a standout cast to explore Strauss’s operatic range.

"...an excellent cast and orchestra pay such delightful homage to Strauss." The audience might have been thin, but Scottish Opera still put on a solid show.

Review: National Opera Studio’s Showcase – Lust & Laughter – Glasgow ★★★★ The UK’s bridge between music colleges at our six full-time opera companies, The National Opera Studio, touched down in Glasgow this February. Crossing this mutable span from the studio’s home in Wandsworth in style, 15 would-be stars conspired with Director Emma Jenkins to tell a tale of Lust & Laughter. A portmanteau piece stitching together scenes from a diverse line-up of great composers’ works to create a singularly eventful soirée, there really was something for everyone, cast and audience alike.

"...something for everyone, cast and audience alike." The National Opera Studio & Scottish Opera showed off the stars of tomorrow in style with Lust & Laughter.

Review: The Makropulos Affair – Scottish Opera – Edinburgh ★★★ The problem with Janáček’s The Makropulos Affair lies in what it is: a play set to music, with few concessions made to the genre into which Karel Čapek’s text has been translated. The result is 2 hours of - admittedly rather chic - recitative, without the least hint of a complete melody, never mind an aria. It’s not unpleasant, but musically it simply doesn’t go anywhere.

"...musically it simply doesn’t go anywhere." - Olivia Fuchs directs Orla Boylan to a bravura turn, but Janáček’s operatic fable fails to impress.

Curtain call with Scottish Opera cast on stage - and the lead character showing up as a blur of white light because, you know, photography skills.

New one to me - Janáček’s Makropulos Affair by #ScottishOpera. Going to take it as a cautionary tale for eternal life not *always* bringing out the best in people (beautiful singing by Orla Boylan as E.M - & who appears below a little fittingly as just a blur of white light)

A village hall; audience heads in the foreground.  A black backdrop has been erected, a cellust in front of it.  A sign at the top of the backdrop reads "Pop-up Opera 2024 - A little bit of the Merry Widow".  Above it onw can see a basketball hoop.

'The Merry Widow' sung in 30 minutes. Then basketball for an hour. Then 'Don Giovanni' in 30 minutes. The perfect Sunday afternoon.
