Opera Highlights

Water cooler moments, scheming co-workers and the leaving do that some would like to forget.

Opera Highlights is heading back to the office with a brand new show, transforming recognisable situations - forbidden crushes and awkward workplace conversations - for the stage. Think music paired with the whirr of the photocopier, as you’ll hear music from a range of operas, building a story of all-too-familiar office politics!

We’re taking opera out of the opera house and into halls across Scotland in an intimate, immediate and surprisingly relatable production, with four singers forming the cast of colleagues navigating workplace dynamics. For teens to grandparents, opera buffs to complete newcomers.

So clear your in-tray, unplug the desk phone, and book now for an extraordinary office party this Autumn. Featuring the best bits from Die Fledermaus, Pagliacci, Romeo and Juliet, and more – all sung in English to make this one-of-a-kind show immediately accessible to audiences.

Alongside Opera Highlights, Scottish Opera will also run a series of free outreach workshops called How to stage an opera, giving people a new way to interact with the stories and music of Opera Highlights.

Open to all ages. No previous experience is required, but lots of enthusiasm!
