New pictures have been revealed showing what's in store for live music fans as Scottish Opera gets set to bring its latest tour to Largs.
The company has created a new Opera Highlights production which will hit the Barrfields Theatre stage on Saturday, March 23.
Mezzo-soprano Lea Shaw, tenor Monwabisi Lindi, soprano Inna Husieva, and baritone Ross Cumming will perform a selection of classics and less well-known pieces.
The playlist includes music from Verdi's 'La traviata', Mozart’s 'The Magic Flute', Puccini’s 'La bohème', and Arthur Sullivan’s 'HMS Pinafore'.
The production is set at a wedding, and the show explores the stories that happen in the margins of this kind of occasion.
The characters – four guests and four staff members – will find their narratives interweaving as the day progresses, with audiences following them through a series of intimate exchanges via a rich programme of operatic gems.
The variety of musical styles spans three centuries of history, and includes a series of arias, duets, trios, and quartets together with a delicate overarching narrative devised by the Company.
Director Laura Attridge said: ‘I’m so looking forward to getting back into the rehearsal room with a brilliant new cast and musical director for Opera Highlights.
"We had a fantastic response from audiences who attended performances in the autumn, and I can’t wait to share this joyful show with new communities across Scotland.’
The show starts at 7.30pm and ticket costs £18 per person or £6 for under 26s.
