Director Ashley Dean (who directed Essential Scottish Opera in 2009) provided a modern staging with a passionate heroine struggling against the oppression of both women and gypsies in a country firmly in the grip of General Franco’s right-wing regime in 1960s Spain.
Scottish mezzo soprano Annie Gill and 2010/11 Scottish Opera Emerging Artist Rebecca Afonwy-Jones shared the title role. Welsh tenor Robyn Lyn Evans and Nicholas Ransley (Cinderella, 2007/08) appeared as Don José, while 2010/11 Emerging Artist Michel de Souza took on the role of bullfighter Escamillo.
