His Majesty's Theatre, Aberdeen:
12 November 2026, 7.30pm

Celebrating 120 years of His Majesty’s Theatre, Aberdeen, The Orchestra of Scottish Opera and soloists including Jamie MacDougall (L’heure espagnole 2025) unite for a one-off concert you will not want to miss. With a sense of ceremony befitting the milestone, the Opera Gala invites guests to be part of a moment that looks back with pride and forward with purpose. 

This programme is a tour through the greatest popular opera, operetta, and the Great American Songbook, with recognisable melodies that have moved their listeners for generations. Experience the joys of song while supporting Aberdeen’s historic theatre, celebrating classics of the art form in spectacular arrangements for full orchestra. It is an evening designed to honour the theatre’s legacy, celebrate its place at the heart of Aberdeen, and recognise the cultural generosity that has sustained it for 120 years.
