Our Primary Schools Tour helps teachers all over Scotland deliver aspects of A Curriculum for Excellence. These children’s operas make learning exciting, challenging and creative and allow pupils to participate in a high-quality, day-long music theatre workshop, ending with a performance for parents and guests.

Each school that participates receives:

  • High quality teaching resources, including a teachers' support pack to help introduce the music and related activities.
  • An advance visit from a specialist choral musician.
  • A day-long workshop with a team of highly experienced arts education specialists and performers.
  • A 30 minute performance for family, friends and schoolmates to share.

1719!

Music David Munro
Lyrics Allan Dunn
Additional music and new orchestration Alan Penman

Spring 2019 14 Jan to 22 Mar

Join Scottish Opera in commemorating one of the most dramatic periods in Scottish history; the Jacobite Risings. 

Let’s go back in time, exactly 300 years ago, to the year 1719. The Jacobites and their Spanish allies converge upon Glen Sheil in the Western Highlands to prepare themselves for battle with the approaching Hanoverian troops. But the Jacobites have more to worry about than their enemies!  Will in-fighting, missed opportunities and poor communications prove to be their undoing?

All of these, of course, but you also need a good story… Scottish Opera invites young audiences on a whirlwind musical adventure to find out how opera is made. Supported by online resources designed to reinforce key learning outcomes of A Curriculum for Excellence for Level 1.
