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.

"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.

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.
