BambinO

Sat 21st Oct - Sun 5th Nov

The long-awaited follow up to the ground-breaking BabyO, BambinO is a brand new piece of music theatre, again aimed at an audience that doesn’t often get a look in at opera – babies.

This unique and colourful work for infants aged 6 to 18 months reinvents operatic language and traditions for children at an age when their minds are wide open to new sounds, images and experiences. Babies are free to explore during the performance, interacting with singers, musicians and each other. We hope adults might find new ways of enjoying music too – through the ears of their bambini!

Written by Scottish Opera’s acclaimed Composer in Residence Lliam Paterson and directed by Improbable’s ever-imaginative Phelim McDermott, BambinO will be a twin celebration of the possibilities of music and the power of the infant imagination.

A Scottish Opera, Manchester International Festival and Improbable co-production.

He takes us to an all-night cafe populated by the desperate. Prostitutes, hustlers and heroin addicts gather nightly for company, drugs and to make a buck.

Love and Information

Thu 16th Nov - Fri 17th Nov

Caryl Churchill is one of the world's most daring and playful playwrights. Love and Information is an exhilarating theatrical kaleidoscope that asks questions about how we live in world bombarded with information. How do we make sense of these things? What's true and what's fake? What about intimacy, privacy, our relationships?

The production showcases the talent of our students in venues across Scotland. Produced in association with Solar Bear, a pioneering theatre company whose work celebrates the creative possibilities of inclusion.

The show is a series of short scenes, and playfully explores different ways of making work for both D/deaf and hearing audiences. Some scenes will be in British Sign Language, some in English, some will be a mix of both. Captioning will be used extensively.

Please note: This production contains adult themes and may not be suitable for young children.

Running Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes (including 15min interval).
