I do have a copy of that somewhere - not a full version unfortunately, only the one he sang on PI. I'll look it up over the weekend and try and put it up.

Scottish Opera celebrates 50th anniversary

Five facts about the company

 

1: Over its 50 years of existence, Scottish Opera has staged 223 new productions. Their furthest fl ung performance took place in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 1970 – a four-night run of The Turn of the Screw directed by Anthony Besch.

 

2: Among the famous faces who have passed through Scottish Opera’s ranks are Billy Connolly, who had a speaking role in Die Fledermaus in 1979, Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli, who choreographed La Vie Parisienne, directed by Graham Vick for Scottish Opera in 1985, and reality TV star Darius Campbell, who appeared in the company’s production of Carmen at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden.

 

3: Their department of props has lent a hand to many external productions. A Compare the Market TV ad, which showed meerkats fighting mongooses in a 19th century conflict, used prop weapons built in Glasgow, while actors in the film Neds attacked each other with silicon rubber and stage-safe weaponry provided by Scottish Opera including bricks and frying pans.

 

4: Their Five:15 – Operas Made in Scotland model for commissioning new opera has inspired similar programmes in Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and London.

 

5: The costumes for the 2009 production of Manon required 15,000 metres of thread, 380 litres of glue, 375 metres of gold braid, 250 metres of French lace, 150 pairs of shoes and 85 wigs for the 131 performers … and there were 126 pairs of dirty tights to wash each night.

 

Scottish Opera’s Tosca is staged at Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre on Fri 25, Sun 27 & Thu 31 May and Sat 2 Jun before touring to Aberdeen.

Thanks Polly. Every little mention is welcome. Sue

Even if he was 12 or 13 at the time. Better anything than nothing

The first link seems to have been deleted - it's funny how a similar link turns up every year. The link may have but the forum are running with the story abd linked to the same type of story for last year.

 

I put the 2nd on Darius Campbell archive and news. Thanks, BT

Just a few bits from TCM's programme on GWTW

Thanks Meg, I loved GWTW. I was comparing it only last week to a production of Carousel at the Lowry, Salford, which ran for 3 hours and came a very poor second to GWTW. It had so much to offer had it been given a chance. Sue

It wasn't karaoke which went against it - no special effects either, just acting

I thought it was pure class, the staging was great - - I would go see it again, I am so sad other lesser musicals seem to run and run..but thats supply and demand I suppose. Dumbed down musicals for the masses who want to sing along to a cobbled together sound track held together with a loose plot.

Anyone else see this tweet?
