Water cooler moments, scheming co-workers and the leaving do that some would like to forget.
Opera Highlights is heading back to the office with a brand new show, transforming familiar situations - forbidden crushes and awkward workplace conversations - onto the stage. Think music paired with the whir of the photocopier, as you’ll hear a range of operas, building a story of all-too-familiar office politics!
We’re taking opera out of the opera house and into halls across Scotland in an intimate, immediate and surprisingly relatable production, with four singers forming the cast of four colleagues navigating workplace dynamics. For teens to grandparents, opera buffs to complete newcomers, book now to experience the more extraordinary office party this Autumn.
Opera Highlights is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
