Scottish Opera is Scotland’s national opera company and the largest performing arts organisation in Scotland. The 2022/23 Season marks its 60th Anniversary.

The Company’s performance repertoire ranges across five centuries, from the earliest operas to newly-commissioned world premieres. Scottish Opera collaborates with the world’s finest singers and creatives, together with The Orchestra of Scottish Opera and choruses for each opera. Recent accolades include a South Bank Sky Arts Award, a Scottish Award for New Music, Sunday Herald Culture Awards, a Herald Angel, and a 2020 RPS Award. In 2021 the Company returned to live audiences with Sir David McVicar’s new production of Verdi’s Falstaff performed in Glasgow and at the Edinburgh International Festival.

The Company tours extensively across Scotland to ensure performances are within reach of as many of the country’s very dispersed population as possible. Specially adapted 40-foot long trailers bring Pop-up Opera performances to thousands of people each year. In 2021 the Company performed nearly 200 performances of its Pop-up Opera Roadshow to socially distanced audiences of 11,014 people. This is one of the most extensive touring programmes of any European opera company and a much-valued contribution to Scotland’s cultural and artistic life, particularly in remote and island communities. 

The Company’s Education & Outreach programme, which celebrated 50 years in 2021, includes an annual Primary Schools Tour, bringing children the opportunity to perform their own specially commissioned piece alongside professional singers. Around 120 schools and 9,000 pupils take part each year. Scottish Opera aims to be inclusive and affordable through availability of free and cheap tickets, as well as performances offering audio description and specially devised shorter access performances.

The Company’s Opera On Screen productions are available to watch online. The collection includes Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore, Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, Mozart’s Così fan tutte, Opera Highlights, Menotti’s The Telephone, and Samuel Bordoli and Jenni Fagan’s The Narcissistic Fish. The Company’s 2021 production of The Gondoliers, filmed live at Festival Theatre Edinburgh, is available on BBC iPlayer.

• Love blooms in this spirited new telling of Donizetti’s evergreen rom-com, from the director of SO: On Screen’s Così fan tutte.  What hope does a poor gardener have? None, in the romantic jungle of Regency England. Or so it would seem. Naïve young Nemorino adores Adina (who also happens to be his boss). Adina, wealthy and sophisticated, barely notices his existence. Enter Dulcamara – travelling salesman extraordinaire – and his miraculous ‘elixir of love’! But will it be magic, or a more natural kind of chemistry altogether, that finally brings this oddly-matched pair together?   Donizetti’s sparkling score balances mischievous humour with beautifully tender moments – including Nemorino’s poignant ‘Una furtiva lagrima’ – the story fizzing along between sincere sentiment and fast-paced patter.  Director Roxana Haines (Così fan tutte 2020, La boheme 2020), looks to the elegance and wit of Jane Austen for this sunny new production. Featuring Scottish Opera Emerging Artists Arthur Bruce, Catriona Hewitson and Shengzhi Ren, alongside Roland Wood (La boheme 2020) as Dulcamara, an 18-strong chorus and The Orchestra of Scottish Opera, it promises a fresh new take on this ever-entertaining and romantic tale of love, jealously and joy.    All performers observe current physical distancing guidelines throughout the filming of this concert.  Running time approx. 2 hours Sung in Italian  Supported by Garfield Weston Foundation (Weston Culture Fund), The Robertson Trust and Scottish Opera's Emerging Artist Benefactors  DIGITAL PROGRAMME Click here to find out more in our digital programme: https://www.scottishopera.org.uk/disc...

Scottish Opera was founded by Alexander Gibson in 1962 and inaugurated with a production of Madama Butterfly at the King’s Theatre in Glasgow. In 1974 Scottish Opera purchased the Theatre Royal Glasgow, which reopened in 1975 as Scotland’s first national opera house.  The Orchestra of Scottish Opera was founded in 1980. Stuart Stratford was appointed Music Director in 2015 following conducting engagements with The Orchestra of Scottish Opera and in the Company's production of Janáček’s Jenůfa.  #scottishopera #opera #donizetti #filmedopera #bridgerton #regencyfashion #elixiroflove
