Scottish Opera

Scottish Opera’s hugely popular Opera Highlights tour kicks off once again in February, travelling to 14 smaller, more
remote venues the length and breadth of Scotland, from Lerwick in the north to Castle Douglas in the south.

Scottish Opera’s Head of Music Derek Clark has curated an extremely varied programme including favourites from
Rossini’s Barber of Seville, Mozart’s Così fan tutte and Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers, as well as lesser known
gems rarely performed on the Scottish stage.

Opera Highlights, which tells the story of Henrietta and Leon, two stage managers who have to cope with the demands
of opera stars Sophia and Petrach every night on tour, also features a new work, entitled ‘Wings’, created especially
for the tour by Scottish Opera’s Emerging Artist Composer in Residence Samuel Bordoli. With something for
everyone, from opera first timers to seasoned fans, Opera Highlights promises an intimate performance of great
music.
