The repertoire on this spring 2015 Ellen Kent tour, under the auspices of Opera and Ballet International, was as usual three popular favourites, in Madama Butterfly, Rigoletto and La traviata. No opera company was involved this time - the orchestra being assembled from two Moldovan bodies, the National Opera and Ballet Theatre and the National Philharmonic. The chorus was of unspecified origin.
The Scottish leg of the tour consisted of eight performances spread over four centres as follows:
Edinburgh Playhouse - 26 March Rigoletto, 27th Traviata, 28th Butterfly;
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall - 31 March Traviata, 1 April Butterfly;
Dundee Caird Hall - 2 April Butterfly;
His Majesty's Theatre Aberdeen - 10 April Rigoletto, 11 April Traviata.
Cast details for Rigoletto to be confirmed.
