Silver Cloud for Scottish Opera

Posted 3 Mar 2017

Scottish Opera has created a new rehearsal space, called Silver Cloud Studio, in Hillington Park, Scotland’s largest business park located between Glasgow and Paisley.

Silver Cloud Studio, shown left, measures over 5000 square feet and has been converted from a large industrial unit into an attractive modern rehearsal area for The Orchestra of Scottish Opera.

Alex Reedijk, Scottish Opera’s General Director said: ‘I am delighted that Silver Cloud Studio is now open. Suitable rehearsal space is often difficult to find and our new studio at Hillington Park provides – with surprisingly minimal adaptation – an ideal rehearsal environment for The Orchestra of Scottish Opera and other users.  

We hope to extend its utility to our Education Department, and in due course, other community activity.’

Roddy Proudfoot, Head of Asset Management at Hillington Park said: ‘The range of commercial organisations based at Hillington Park is large but Scottish Opera has demonstrated that our commercial space can be extremely adaptable to accommodate virtually any use.  Scottish Opera is one of the country’s most creative forces and it has demonstrated exactly that by turning an industrial unit into a fantastic rehearsal space for its orchestra.’
