The city of Dnipro has suffered several bombardments during the Russian invasion of Ukraine so it may seem surprising that their opera company should be able to come abroad for an extensive tour. However they are very welcome and will no doubt receive the enthusiastic reception that all Ukrainian artists have had recently.
The visit extends throughout the UK from Thursday, 9 February to Wednesday, 5 April. The repertoire is familiar, with 24 performances of Madama Butterfly, 18 of Carmen and just 5 of Aïda. Scotland sees two of the latter (Ayr and Perth) and four of Butterfly (Ayr, Hamilton, Dunfermline and Dundee) between Wednesday 14 and Monday 20 February.
