Opera Highlights--2014

This season we’re celebrating Opera Highlights’ 20th anniversary and we’re out on the road again, bringing you a fun-filled evening of music and good company. This year’s show explores the theme of love, one of the driving forces of opera. From passionate declarations to weeping for missed chances; love unrequited or wholeheartedly returned – we’re showcasing the full range of emotions.

The programme is packed full of operatic gems, with much-loved pieces from Mozart’s Così fan tutte, Verdi’s Rigoletto and Puccini’s La bohème to lesser-known works by Nicolai, Heuberger and Orefice. There’s also a world premiere from Scottish Opera’s Composer in Residence Gareth Williams.

So whether you’re new to opera or a seasoned fan, there’s sure to be something for you, be it a tune you’re discovering for the first time or an old favourite you’ll be humming all the way home.

This year’s singers are mezzo-soprano Máire Flavin (Orpheus in the Underworld, 2011), tenor Paul Curievici (In the Locked Room, 2012), and two of our 2013/14 Emerging Artists – soprano Sarah Power and baritone Andrew McTaggart.
