SCOTTISH OPERA’S nationwide Opera Highlights tour kicks off in September, travelling to small, more remote venues the length and breadth of Scotland.

From 21 September to 28 October, the Autumn tour will stop at Musselburgh, Markinch, Arisaig, Portree, Stornoway, Lochinver, Carrbridge, Findhorn, Cove, Peebles, Stranraer, Campbeltown, Bowmore, Benderloch, Langholm, Greenock and East Kilbride.

Scottish Opera’s Head of Music Derek Clark has curated a 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.

Director Jack Furness said: ‘I learnt so much during my time as an Emerging Artist with Scottish Opera, and one of the highlights was…Opera Highlights! I’m so pleased to be coming back to direct another show, especially as it involves working with composer Samuel Bordoli. Opera Highlights is a real heart-and-soul show. I remember having so much fun in the rehearsal room and I’m sure this time will be no different.’

Scottish Opera’s General Director, Alex Reedijk, said: ‘Touring Scotland is at the heart of what we do and Opera Highlights is the perfect show to take to smaller and more remote communities around the country as it truly has something for everyone. We are thrilled to have Jack Furness back with us to direct this production which will travel to 17 venues in Autumn. His 2016 Opera Highlights tour was a hit with audiences, and his imaginative approach will no doubt bring out the best in this year’s fabulous young cast.’

This Season, Scottish Opera’s Opera Highlights tour will be travelling around Scotland twice. The Autumn leg of the tour will be followed by a further 14-date tour in Spring 2018, with a brand new cast aboard the trusty minibus. More details will be available on the Scottish Opera website in the coming months.
