Pop-Up Opera 2025

Join us this summer to experience opera on a miniature scale, with specially-created 30 minute performances brought to life by two singers, instrumentalists and a beautiful set of illustrations.

Scottish Opera presents a celebration of Gilbert & Sullivan comedies – A Little Bit of The Pirates of Penzance and A Little Bit of The Gondoliers. Packed with screwball humour, memorable characters, and of course brilliant tongue-twisting tunes, these 30-minute operas are perfect for audiences of all ages. Enjoy a single performance or a double feature!

In addition, Pop-up Opera 2025 presents a Scottish Opera original – Puffy MacPuffer and the Crabbit Canals. This special performance cruises through the very different canals that run the length and breadth of Scotland.

Monkton Gala Day

Ayr
A surreal promotional image featuring a dramatic scene with the text "Coming soon.. The Charmers.." at the top. In the center, a man with gray hair is screaming or acting emotionally while emerging from a wooden picture frame. His head is encircled by a black band, and he leans forward with an intense expression. In front of him is a ghostly, humanoid figure with bird-like features and extended transparent wings, as if it's part of or escaping from the frame. The background includes a vintage map, adding a mysterious, historical atmosphere. The overall tone suggests an upcoming theatrical or artistic performance.
