This season’s snappy, playful show by director Rebecca Meltzer and designer Kenneth MacLeod explores and celebrates Scotland’s rich landscape. The operatic snapshots, curated for the first time by Fiona MacSherry, Scottish Opera’s Head of Music, form vignettes taking place at the country’s many varied train stations – places of greetings and goodbyes, reunions and setting off on new adventures, where all walks of life can coexist and interact equally.
Singers Robert Forrest and Scottish Opera’s 2024/25 Emerging Artists Ross Cumming, Chloe Harris, and Kira Kaplan bring classic operatic excerpts by Beethoven, Bizet, Handel, Donizetti, Tchaikovsky, and more to life under the musical direction of Joseph Beesley in this original piano-accompanied production.
