Artiste: Scottish Opera

Sir Thomas Allen returns to Scottish Opera to revive The Barber of Seville with a strong cast headed by Samuel Dale Johnson, Anthony Gregory, David Stout and Simone McIntosh. 

Fine singing from Justina Gringytė, Alok Kumar and Hye-Youn Lee lead a strong supporting cast, with Dane Lam conducting the Scottish Opera Orchestra and Chorus on top form.

Scottish Opera’s 60th birthday present proves a triumph, with outstanding singing from Karen Cargill, Sunyoung Seo, Viktor Antipenko and Roland Wood. 

Scottish Opera’s visually stunning new production is headed by a strong trio of Lauren Fagan, Julieth Lozano and Samantha Hankey. 

Set in the sinister backstreets of Venice, this production from 2013 boasts strong singing all around and brisk, bright conducting by Stuart Stratford.
