#Review: Opera Highlights @TraverseTheatre.bsky.social ★★★★ "Energetic staging gives depth and nuance to the plot, helping to weave the disparate stories together into a cohesive new narrative." @ScottishOpera.bsky.social #theatre #edinburgh #theatresky everything-theatre.co.uk/2025/11/revi...

Review: Opera Highlights, Traverse Theatre - Edinburgh - Everything Theatre

For anyone tempted to think of opera as stuffy, remote or inaccessible, this production shows we might all have opera-sized feelings, even when trying to give a professional veneer at the office party

Last week we celebrated the birthday to our dear friend, Dame Janet Baker. 🥰 In June, Dame Janet attended a London recital by our 24/25 Emerging Artists. At this joyful occasion, the group met Dame Janet, who passed on her wisdom to the group. A very special moment, indeed.

Gluck's fabulous score. Gravity defying acrobatics. A phenomenal cast and orchestra. Yaron Lifschitz’s staging of Oprheus and Eurydice had it all. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - The Guardian. Thank you to Edinburgh International Festival, Opera Australia, Opera Queensland, The Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Circa.

They are singing in front of a screen which has in small font at the top 'Where is Eurydice?'

"This is operetta, not only for the nostalgic, but for the now." Scottish Opera impresses with a double-bill of cultural-political satire, one classic, one new. #ScottishOpera #TrialByJury #AMatterOfMisconduct #EdinburghTheatre #GSComedy

Review: Trial By Jury / A Matter of Misconduct – Scottish Opera

★★★★ With its latest double bill, Scottish Opera offers a study in contrast and continuity: the enduring power of satire, from the gleefully anarchic world of Gilbert and Sullivan to the all-too-familiar farce of contemporary British politics. "Trial by Jury", given a zany reboot as a reality courtroom TV show, shares the stage with the premiere of "A Matter of Misconduct!", a new one-act operetta by Emma Jenkins and composer Toby Hession.
