Opera at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Posted 2 Jun 2013

Exciting news for all interested in new work - three new operas (all praised when they first appeared) are being revived on the Fringe. The Garden and Last One Out (written for last year's Sounds Festival) and the Sloans Project all make a welcome reappearance.

There are world premieres for Bare and Red as Blood, two new pieces coupled with Walton's The Bear (Helios Chamber Opera with Melos Sinfonia). Operatic favourites include Cosi fan tutte (Opera'r Ddraig), Eugene Onegin (Opera Bohemia) and Dido and Aeneas (Aria Alba- Opera for All).  Eboracum Baroque, who set a high standard last year, are also bringing Purcell's great opera, but coupled with a rarity by him, Bonduca.  Opera Holloway are bringing Hansel and Gretel and Edinburgh Studio Opera are reviving the Okavango Macbeth. Already announced of course is the revival of Scottish Opera's Seven Deadly Sins.

We will upload more information to the website as soon as it comes to hand.
