Artist Biography
Available in:

Scottish Opera is Scotland’s national opera company and the largest performing arts organisation in Scotland. The Company was founded in 1962 by Sir Alexander Gibson ‘to lay the treasures of opera at the feet of the people of Scotland’. The 2025/26 Season marks its 63rd Anniversary.
The Company’s performance repertoire ranges across five centuries, from the earliest operas to newly-commissioned world premieres, which most recently included Antonia Bain and Samuel Bordoli's brand-new animated opera short film Josefine (2024/25), Emma Jenkins and Toby Hession's satirical operetta A Matter of Misconduct! (2024/25), and Harry Ross and Dai Fujikura's The Great Wave (2025/26).
Scottish Opera collaborates with the world’s finest singers and creatives, together with The Orchestra of Scottish Opera and choruses for each opera. Recent accolades include a South Bank Sky Arts Award, Scottish Award for New Music, Sunday Herald Culture Awards, 2017 UK Theatre Award, 2020 RPS Award, 2023 International Opera Award nomination, and 2023 Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera.
The Company produces world-class work at every scale and tours extensively across Scotland to ensure performances are within reach of as many of the country’s very dispersed population as possible. In 2021 the Company performed nearly 200 performances of its Pop-up Opera Roadshow to socially distanced audiences of 11,014 people - one of the most extensive touring programmes of any European opera company and a much-valued contribution to Scotland’s cultural and artistic life. This season, Pop-up Opera and Opera Highlights are back on the road in three tours, visiting over 50 venues across Scotland's mainland and islands.
