Singer

Sir Thomas Allen revives his much-loved production of Mozart’s unstoppable masterpiece. Reflecting the insight and experience of a seasoned performer, Allen’s Figaro is full of humour, subtlety, and wit. Simon Higlett’s sumptuous designs provide the backdrop for a comedy of social revolution and subversion that is as relevant today as ever, and this time sung in English.

All wedding days are complicated, but nothing compared to Figaro’s. After discovering that his boss, the Count, plots to seduce his wife, Figaro and Susanna must use their wit to outsmart their employer, whilst making it down the aisle.

An Emperor’s court decays around him; a princess, haunted by inherited trauma, plays a deadly game of riddles; a visiting prince takes one look and decides to risk his life for love. The stakes could not be higher.

Turandot

Festival Theatre Edinburgh

World-renowned Scottish director Sir David McVicar brings his visionary storytelling to bear on Puccini’s epic, final opera in this, its centenary year.

There are worse places to find yourself trapped than Club Amnesia. Here, Alcina – performance artist extraordinaire – captivates the men who swarm around her, bending their minds, and reality, to her will. But when she meets Ruggiero, her heart finally softens. Then Ruggiero’s fiancée – disguised as a man to rescue her lost lover – arrives, and a clash of head and heart threatens to shatter the magic, hedonism, and fantasy of Alcina’s illusions.

Alcina

Olivia Fuchs, director of 2025’s five-star The Makropulos Affair, transports Handel’s romantic fantasy to the vibrant, flamboyant, all-intoxicating club scene, joyfully toying with opera’s power and gender dynamics.

When the young Cio-Cio-San marries the handsome US Navy Lieutenant Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, she gives up everything – after all, he has promised her a new life, and the warnings of her nearest and dearest seem trivial in the face of true love. Years later, she waits eagerly for his return and to introduce him to his son, but his arrival leads only to tragedy.
