Royal Conservatoire of Scotland: Betrothal in a Monastery

Thu 26 & Sat 28 January 2012

7.15pm

Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (formally the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama) present Prokofiev's Betrothal in a Monastery in a  co-production with Scottish Opera.

Based on Sheridan's play The Duenna, this whacky but very human comedy celebrates all that is young love. Two boys, two girls, a greedy fish merchant and a bevy of monks who are more likely to be found drinking than praying... Prokofiev's gift for sparkling wit and satire is never far away and his score is an explosion of colour and lyricism with a host of unforgettable melodies.

New Production. Sung in English with English supertitles.

Pre Show Talk Sat 28 January 6pm (Free but ticketed - call 0131 529 6000 to book)
