This summer, SCOTTISH OPERA is taking its pop-up opera around Scotland with 30-minute performances starting from the Dumfries & Galloway Arts Festival on 27 May. The tour will also make stops in Linlithgow, South Lanarkshire, Glasgow, the Isle of Lewis, Strathpeffer, Dornoch, Dundee, and Aberdeenshire. In addition, the singers are visiting primary schools to perform Puffy MacPuffer and the Crabbit Canals. According to Jane Davidson, Director of Outreach and Education for Scottish Opera, this year's program is going to feature a "blend of weekday visits to primary schools and week-end performances in public venues" as well as "adventures of a very small boat with a very big heart as Puffy MacPuffer sets sail on the Scottish canal network from Inverness to Crinan and from Grangemouth to Glasgow." Audiences will be able
to travel back to the last decades of the 19th century to watch "the doomed love affair of Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin" or "a glass of Champagne with the original Batman— better known as Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss II" in one afternoon. Readers can find out more about Scottish Opera's tour and other culture news and reviews in Scottish Field's culture pages and Alexander McCall Smith's column in the April issue of Scottish Field magazine.
