Our Tips
- Opera runs over several dates, so compare performances if you want the best seat choice or a Sunday matinee.
- The official page is worth checking for access performances and pre-show extras.
- Plan a little time before curtain up, as the Festival Theatre can be busy on major touring or Scottish Opera nights.
