FROM ROSSINI TO PUCCINI - OPERA HIGHLIGHTS HAS IT ALL

Scottish Opera is coming to Darvel. Opera Highlights - a relaxed, informal, concert-style evening of well-known opera tunes and little-known gems.

Now bigger than ever. The recent press release noted:-

The night will be introduced by our four talented young singers and accompanied by pianist Ruth Wilkinson, the evening showcases a mix of operatic styles including arias, duets and ensembles from operas like Puccini's La Boheme, Mozart's Don Giovanni and Gounod's Romeo et Juliette, as well as music by Handel, Rossini, Gilbert and Sullivan, Saint-Saens, Tchaikovsky and Bernstein.

The cast includes two of Scottish Opera's Emerging Artists, soprano Miranda Sinani and mezzo-soprano Louise Collett. Miranda and Louise come fresh from their roles in the chorus of Scottish Opera's recent critically acclaimed production of Donizetti's The Elixir of Love. Joining them on stage is tenor Adrian Ward, winner of the 2008 Royal Over-Seas League vocal section prize and baritone Robert Tucker, a recent Emerging Performer at the Australian Opera Studio. Scottish Opera's General Director Alex Reedijk says, 'This is a great chance to see some fantastic young singers performing a selection of the world's most beautiful music right on your doorstep. There's a perfect blend of tunes people will already know and ones we hope they'll be delighted to discover.'
