Running time approx. 2 hrs The Scottish Opera Young Company continues to stretch its wings – this Season performing Sondheim’s multi-Olivier Award- Sung in English winning Merrily We Roll Along. Young Company Artistic Director Jonathon Swinard conducts this Scottish Opera premiere of a sophisticated score that was, unusually, written to be performed entirely by young adults.

‘Sondheim’s wonderful score is both uplifting and incredibly poignant – his jazzy ensemble writing full of characteristic wit and toe-tapping Broadway energy.’ Jonathon Swinard

Merrily We Roll Along has long been a go-to work for recording artists from Sinatra to Liza Minnelli, and the unfailingly original score is full of the devilish wit for which Sondheim is so loved. A dark tale of ambition and disillusion, the story starts at the end of a successful career that has seen Franklin Shepard go from penniless composer to Hollywood impresario. But as the years Stephen Sondheim roll back, it is soon evident that much has been lost to get there, MERRILY and success isn’t necessarily the key to happiness…

WE ROLL Scottish Opera Young Company ALONG For 17 to 25 year olds with a passion for performance Scottish Opera Young Company gives aspiring young singers and stage managers a unique and practical introduction to the world of opera. Rehearsing throughout the year, Young Company members work with a range of opera professionals – including directors, choreographers, conductors and vocal coaches – to hone their skills, culminating in their own fully-staged production. And for those not yet quite ready for the Young Company, SOYC Gateway is the perfect first step – for 14 to 17 year old aspiring singers.
