A night at the opera will have you singing from the rooftops
KENNETH SPEIRS
to Gilbert and Sullivan.
“We promise an evening of frivolities, folly and flirtation as our singers take you to the depths of the underworld, Paris at dawn, a Viennese masked ball and a tryst by the Thames.
“Four erstwhile travellers journey the seas of love and back again, in scenes of picaresque torment and delight, to warm your hearts on a chilly night.”
Last year, Scottish Opera delighted audiences when it built ‘Paisley Opera House’ at the town’s Seedhill playing fields.
This was a massive marquee that housed its production of Leonvcavallo’s Pagliacci.
The company’s Opera Highlights is on a smaller scale but is sure to be keenly anticipated by fans.
Scottish Opera general director Alex Reedijk said: “Following the tremendous success of our 17-date Autumn Opera Highlights tour, we are greatly looking forward to visiting 18 smaller and rural venues in the spring.
“This new, pint-sized production is a celebration of opera and the accomplished creative team will no doubt bring out the best in this talented cast, as they journey around Scotland from Barra to Boat of Garten.”
The tour to Paisley is supported by The Friends of Scottish Opera, the JTH Charitable Trust and the Scottish Opera Endowment Trust.
The show is at the Wynd Centre on Saturday, March 16, at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £ 12 (£ 5 for those under 26).
