Scottish Opera at 60

Looking forward to East Neuk Festival 2022 and looking back at 60 years of Scottish Opera.

Scottish Opera turns 60 this year and director Alex Reedijk joins Jamie to share musical highlights from the company’s history. The works of a teenage Samuel Coleridge Taylor feature in our Album of the Week, performed by the sparky young Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective and John Wallace CBE shares news of the ‘Thunderplump’ project at this year's East Neuk Festival in Fife.
