Welcome to our 2025/26 Season


For our 63rd year, we are thrilled to bring you a rich programme of opera at its best and boldest – international in scope, presented across the length and breadth of Scotland. 2025 marks ten years since Stuart Stratford joined Scottish Opera as our Music Director; during this time, his passion for opera in all its forms, and for involving everyone in its creation, has taken us to new heights.

Through the power of opera, our 2025/26 Season line-up showcases artistic innovation, captivating performances, community connections, and transformative learning experiences to inspire the next generation.

We warmly invite you to be a part of our Season and look forward to welcoming you soon!
