Fifty years of Opera Highlights

Posted 7 Dec 2012

Opera Highlights celebrates fifty years of Scottish Opera with a retrospective romp through music from some of the company's most memorable productions.  Sitting alongside familiar favourites will be the world premiere of a new piece by Scottish Opera's composer in residence, Gareth Williams, created especially for the tour.

The man in charge of putting together the anniversary programme is Scottish Opera Head of Music, Derek Clark.  He says "Opera Highlights is always a celebration of wonderful music, and this year it's even more special as we've been able to put together a programme which takes a joyful look back at some of Scottish Opera's own highlights from across our fifty years.  With such a varied selection of music there is plenty to enjoy whether you're an opera novice, an opera buff, or anywhere in between."
