Founded in 1962 by Sir Alexander Gibson, Scottish Opera has gone from strength to strength and now employs over 200 people. It has established a reputation for quality professional opera productions all around the country, but most significantly in its resident venue, the Theatre Royal, which it purchased in 1974. This winter, they are staging La Traviata and Cosi Fan Tutte. Tickets are available from the box office at the Theatre Royal. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Opera, ballet and theatre |

Formerly called Bayliss' Colisseum and Opera House and opened in 1867, the Theatre Royal has a long and colourful history. Twice destroyed by fire then sold for conversion into a television studio complex, the theatre reaffirmed its status as the national centre for opera in 1975. It was extensively refurbished in 1997 and has four floors (each of which has a Victorian bar), with a total capacity of 1555. The theatre's home company, Scottish Opera, is the largest performing arts organisation in the country, delivering a consistently staggering quality of production (ranging from Puccini to Shakespeare). In addition to opera, this venue presents ballet, drama, lyric and children's theatre and is definitely the place to be for classy culture. Review © 2007, Wcities |
