Added in June

Posted 1 Jul 2013

Short biographies have been added for Henry Corri and Ida Gilliess. Go on, read about them!

We have also uploaded notes on Mendelssohn's Elijah, Rameau's Hippolyte and Aricie, and Tippett's King Priam (a first performance in Scotland of this work is promised for next year). Also look for Noye's Fludde (Britten), Paul Bunyan (Britten) and Vepres siciliennes (Verdi).

Read about the first performances in Scotland of Handel's Rodelinda, Verdi's Vepres siciliennes and Lalo's Roi d'Ys.

Further Glasgow Grand Opera productions entered include Carmen (1953) and Aida (1955).

Check out, too, performances of Elijah (1890; 2010; 2013) and Judas Maccabaeus (1887).
