2025 marks 300 years since the publication of Allan Ramsay’s pastoral comedy “The Gentle Shepherd”. Through the inclusion of traditional songs and music, Ramsay adapted his work into a ballad opera, earning it the title of “the first Scottish opera”.
Set against the backdrop of the Pentland Hills, “The Gentle Shepherd” tells the story of Patie, a poor but virtuous shepherd, who falls in love with Peggy, a shepherdess.
Enjoy a concert retelling of what became Ramsay’s most popular work, performed by Stephanie Stanway (soprano), Christian Schneeberger (tenor) and Derek Clark (harpsichord) in the glorious surroundings of Edinburgh’s St. Vincent’s Chapel.
