Rosenkavalier in Portobello
Posted 14 Sep 2014
Founded in 2000 by Mike Thorne and Philip Taylor, the Edinburgh Players' Opera Group has ever since been rehearsing and performing operas by Richard Wagner.
Those taking part in this annual event form a mixture of highly skilled musicians, some professional, some semi-professional and including some setting out to build careers in music performance. These talented players are drawn for the weekend from overseas as well as from other parts of Britain. This year with the choice of a work by Richard Strauss the Group is for the first time performing a non-Wagner opera.
For those who prefer live music to recordings, these occasions are not to be missed and not least because there is now a reduced amount of live opera in Scotland.
