Pop-up Opera

Pop-up Opera is back with three brilliant half-hour shows for audiences of all ages!  

Experience all the drama and wonder of grand opera on a miniature scale, with intimate open-air performances brought to life by a storyteller, two singers, instrumentalists – and a sumptuous set of specially created illustrations.

The shows this year include two cleverly rewritten versions of Rossini’s and Mozart’s classic comedies – The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro. Both follow the adventures of one of opera’s most beloved characters – the mischievous Figaro. The third mini opera, Be a Sport, Spike! , is a Scottish Opera original for 4 to 8 year olds.
