Overview

Join us this summer to experience opera on a miniature scale, with specially-created 30 minute performances brought to life by two singers, instrumentalists and a beautiful set of illustrations. Scottish Opera presents a celebration of Gilbert & Sullivan comedies - A Little Bit of The Pirates of Penzance and A Little Bit of The Gondoliers. Packed with screwball humour, memorable characters, and of course brilliant tongue-twisting tunes, these 30-minute operas are perfect for audiences of all ages. Enjoy a single performance or a double feature! In addition, Pop-up Opera 2025 presents a Scottish Opera original - Puffy MacPuffer and the Crabbit Canals. This special performance cruises through the very different canals that run the length and breadth of Scotland.

Location

The Forth & Clyde Canal Society Voyager: Kirkintilloch Southbank Marina to Hillhead Basin (30 minute circuit)
