Opera Highlights is back on the road in 2025, touring to 24 venues across Scotland with an
original piano-accompanied production.


This season’s snappy, playful show by director Rebecca Meltzer and designer Kenneth
MacLeod explores and celebrates Scotland’s rich landscape. The operatic snapshots, curated
for the first time by Fiona MacSherry, Scottish Opera’s Head of Music, form vignettes taking
place at the country’s many varied train stations – places of greetings and goodbyes,
reunions and setting off on new adventures, where all walks of life can coexist and interact
equally.


Singers Robert Forrest and Scottish Opera’s 2024/25 Emerging Artists Ross Cumming, Chloe
Harris, and Kira Kaplan bring classic operatic excerpts by Beethoven, Bizet, Handel,
Donizetti, Tchaikovsky, and more to life under the musical direction of Joseph Beesley.
