THE Opera Highlights show is coming to Callander this month.
McLaren High School will host four singers and a pianist in a production that features a playlist of operatic classics and must-hear rarities, directed by Roxana Haines and curated by Scottish Opera’s head of music Derek Clark.
Highlights will include Delibes’ ‘Flower Duet’, Vaughan Williams’ ‘Blue larkspur in a garden’ and many more from the likes of Mozart, Lehár and Scottish Opera Composer in Residence, Samuel Bordoli.
Roxana said: “After a successful Autumn tour I am pleased to revive this Opera Highlights show, where the cast cordially invite you to a party on your doorstep.
“This spring we have a brand new cast to guide you through our story which takes place in luscious gardens and magical flora and fauna of opera.
“The stage has been set, decorations unpacked and the guests have all arrived, but the problem is we're still not sure whose party this is...
“As the evening progresses, the connections between our characters unravel through music from the likes of Handel, Donizetti and Mozart, and lighter pieces from Gilbert & Sullivan and Vaughan Williams as well as a new work by Samuel Bordoli.
“Prepare for an evening of charm, magic and love in all its operatic forms in a show that highlights the joy and absurdity of opera.”
The show at McLaren High School will start at 7.30pm on Saturday, February 29.
