Read more about the opera Tumbling Lassie
A Fringe premiere performed together with Fergus of Galloway, two Scottish operas by Alexander McCall Smith set to music by Tom Cunningham with a cast of singers, instrumentalists and an acrobat!
The Tumbling Lassie tells the true story of an acrobat in a circus in 17th-century Edinburgh and her escape from slavery with the help of a Borders family. Fergus of Galloway relates the exploits of a 12th-century knight as he puts himself through various challenges in order to win the hand of the beautiful Galiene, ruler of Lothian.
Edinburgh Studio opera gave a good account of themselves, the young cast performing the works with distinction. The audience was appreciative.
