Songs of the sea

Scottish Opera’s 2018/19 Opera in Concert series concludes with the Scottish premiere of Silvano by Pietro Mascagni. Audiences have two opportunities to see this passionate seafaring tale; at City Halls in Glasgow on 14 April and Usher Hall, Edinburgh on 16 April. Scottish Opera Music Director Stuart Stratford conducts a cast that features acclaimed soprano and former Kathleen Ferrier Awardwinner Emma Bell as Matilde, making her debut with Scottish Opera. The plot centres on a disastrous love triangle that ends in death and despair.
