Water cooler moments, scheming co-workers and the leaving do that some would like to forget.
Opera Highlights is heading back to the office with a brand new show, transforming recognisable situations - forbidden crushes and awkward workplace conversations - for the stage. Think music paired with the whirr of the photocopier, as you’ll hear music from a range of operas, building a story of all-too-familiar office politics!
We’re taking opera out of the opera house and into halls across Scotland in an intimate, immediate and surprisingly relatable production, with four singers forming the cast of colleagues navigating workplace dynamics. For teens to grandparents, opera buffs to complete newcomers.
So clear your in-tray, unplug the desk phone, and book now for an extraordinary office party this Autumn.
Alongside Opera Highlights, Scottish Opera will also run a series of outreach workshops at schools and community venues across the tour, giving people a new way to interact with the stories and music of Opera Highlights. Bookings for the free workshops for the Autumn 2025 tour will be available in late summer.
Opera Highlights is supported by Friends of Scottish Opera and JTH Charitable Trust
