This collaboration with National Opera Studio provides the Young Artists a week-long residency in Glasgow, culminating in a special performance on the set of Anthropocene at the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh. The Young Artists will also work on their repertoire with the English National Opera Orchestra for the first time, prior to their Scottish Opera recital, for a special performance at London’s Cadogan Hall this January. Directed by Orpha Phelan, with Charles Peebles conducting The Orchestra of Scottish Opera, the varied programme for February’s performance by 12 opera stars of the future includes favourites from Beethoven’s Fidelio, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, Carmen by Bizet and Handel’s Rodelina. This year’s show follows the success of last year’s Scottish Opera and National Opera Studio collaboration, From Russia with Love. It featured two of Scottish Opera 2018/19 Emerging Artists: mezzo-soprano Bethan Langford in performance and repetiteur Erika Gundesen, who was involved in 2018’s week-long residency. Alex Reedijk, General Director of Scottish Opera said: ‘We are excited to be working with some of the country’s most talented developing artists from the National Opera Studio and to build on the success of last year’s From Russia With Love programme.

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (BBC SSO) is joined a trio of leading actors [to be announced] and students from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in an abridged performance of Shakespeare’s play featuring incidental music by one of Hollywood’s most celebrated composers, Erich Korngold. A story about reluctant lovers Benedick and Beatrice who are deceived by the malicious hands of Don John, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comic plays and is directed for this performance by Jonathan Best. A pioneer in film composing, Erich Korngold is most famous as the composer of rapturously romantic film scores to swashbucklers Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, and his scores have been recognized ever since as classics of their kind. Berlioz's operatic version of the play, Béatrice et Bénédict, famous for its rousing overture, opens the show and there's a chance to hear orchestral extracts from Humperdinck's rarely performed Königskinder (The King's Children), a fairy-tale opera from the composer of Hansel and Gretel.

    EMBARGOED TILL 5/11/18 at midday THE QUEEN’S HALL – LIFE BEGINS AT 40 1979-2019: Former church celebrates 40 years of welcoming music worshippers through its doors Southside of the Tracks 12.01.19 Steven Osborne & Alban Gerhardt 06.07.19 The Queen’s Hall enters its fortieth year in 2019 with a packed and varied programme of high quality events which reflect the wealth of entertainment it has provided audiences over the years, whilst also looking forward to a bright future. The celebrations start on 12 January with a who’s who of singer-songwriters brought together on the same stage for the first time by Scotland’s foremost fiddle player, John McCusker. Renowned for his skill at transcending musical boundaries, John has shared stages with Paul Weller, Paolo Nutini and Teenage Fanclub and has been a member of Mark Knopfler’s house band since 2008. In Southside of the Tracks: 40 years of traditional music at The Queen’s Hall he will perform with his chosen house band of James Mackintosh, Ian Carr, Ewen Vernal, Michael McGoldrick and Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow) with special guests, so far, Roddy Woomble (Idlewild), Kathleen MacInnes, Phil Cunningham, Adam Holmes, Daoiri Farrell, Heidi Talbot and Rachel Sermanni. More guests are to be announced. Nigel Griffiths, Chair of The Queen’s Hall Board of Trustees says, “We’re starting our fortieth year as we mean to go on and have a bold and ambitious programme which reflects the calibre of artists performing on our stage. In the face of developing competition it is so important for Edinburgh, as the capital city, to keep this beloved institution on the map and I believe we’re now poised to enter a truly dynamic era in The Queen’s Hall’s history.” To commemorate the concert on 6 July 1979 when The Queen’s Hall was officially opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II, we have multi-award-winning Scottish pianist Steven Osborne with one of the world’s finest cellists Alban Gerhardt performing a programme of Schumann, Brahms, De falla, Debussy and Ravel.
