Welsh National Opera (WNO) has just completed a season of work in Edinburgh, scheduled to ensure that full-scale opera is performed in Scotland while Scottish Opera is undergoing organisational stabilisation.
Under a deal brokered with the Scottish Executive last year to help the company regain financial stability, Scottish Opera is not staging any main house work until next spring, although it is currently staging a schools? tour of Verdi?s Macbeth and a series of community concerts. WNO?s Edinburgh season involved outreach work, workshops and performances of The Barber of Seville (pictured). The company is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary this spring with a range of events in Wales and across the UK.
