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.

A group of people stands in front of a Grand piano. Dame Janet stands in the middle surrounded by them. Kira to her left and Chloe to her right link arms. Meghan and Ross stand to the left and Edward to the right. Everyone is smiling.

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.

Moosic so good, even the coos want tickets 🎶 The Opera Highlights Tour steams into its penultimate week of touring across Scotland. Durness, Thurso, Campbeltown, Anstruther and Dundee still to go! 📌

The Opera Highlights team stand to the left of the photograph in a line. One of them is pointing at a Highland cow. In front of them is a river, and on the other side of the river is a friendly Highland cow approaching them. Behind the Highlight cow and the river, is the Opera Highlights tour van. It is black, and on the side it says, 'All Aboard for a first-class night out'. The sky is cloudy and grey.

Hello Bluesky! Here's our ins and outs for 2025... But more importantly, will you be IN the audience for one of our productions in 2025?

This shows two screen shots from the Apple notes app, super imposed onto a photograph of the Theatre Royal, Glasgow. The notes say

INS:

-The first time seeing Emilia Marty

-Glasgow Theatre Royal date nights

-That moment when the house lights dim

-Lemon groves

-Tink-a-tank (Come see our Trial by Jury)

-Bringing a pal to the opera

-Solo trips to the opera

-Humming waltzes from The Merry Widow all the way home

-Cement mixers

-Romanticising waiting in train stations

-Sending secret messages via fans

-That FOH team member at Edinburgh Festival Theatre who always remembers you 🥰

-Taking pictures at the final curtain call

-Giving your neighbour a full plot summary (be the MVP we all love)

-That first spoonful of interval ice cream

-Appreciating the gorgeous interior of HMT Aberdeen

-Wearing whatever you want and feeling fab

-A Pre-show coffee at Eden Court's Riverside Cafe

OUTS:

-Being so late you miss the overture

-Forgetting to buy a programme

-“Opera is not for me”

-"Wait you perform WHERE?" (loads of places, pal, keep up)

-Waiting until last minute to book your tickets

-Unwrapping sweets SUPER LOUDLY

-Not sharing your sweets (criminal)

-"I'll just check my Whatsapp quickly" 📲BESTIE NO - we can see u

-Forgetting our U26 tickets are just £15

-"Maybe I'll skip the pre-show talk" (nooo come join us!)

-Sleeping on the Opera Highlights touring schedule (plz, we could be around the corner from you)

-Worrying about whether it's cringe to post about your night at the theatre on Insta (DO IT - we love main character energy)

-The mad Google search of "opera plot" five minutes before curtain up (srsly - our programme tells you this and more)

-Thinking opera is only for big stages (anywhere can be an opera house )
