Edinburgh Festival Theatre Events
13-29 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh EH8 9FT
Turandot runs at the Festival Theatre from Wednesday 11 to Sunday 22 November 2026. Scottish Opera brings Puccini’s final opera to Edinburgh in a major production directed by Sir David McVicar.
The story follows the icy Princess Turandot and the prince who risks everything to solve her riddles. It is one of opera’s big, dramatic crowd-pullers, and this run adds a proper large-scale autumn listing for the Festival Theatre calendar.

What To Expect
This is a full Scottish Opera production, so expect a larger visual scale than a concert presentation. Puccini’s score includes some of the best-known music in opera, and the Festival Theatre setting makes it a good choice for anyone looking for a grander autumn stage event in Edinburgh.
Performance dates and start times vary across the run, so it’s worth checking your chosen date carefully before booking.
Tickets & Entry
Tickets are listed through Capital Theatres. Availability can change over the course of the run, so check the live listing before booking.
Location
The Festival Theatre is on Nicolson Street, a short walk from the Royal Mile, the University area, and the Southside. It is one of the city’s main venues for opera, ballet, and major touring productions.
Getting There
Edinburgh Waverley is the nearest main station, around a 15-minute walk away. Buses along Nicolson Street and South Bridge are frequent, and central parking is limited, so public transport is usually the easier choice.
Our Tips
- Double-check the date and start time for your chosen performance before booking.
- If you are visiting from outside the city, Waverley is the most straightforward rail stop for the theatre.
- Give yourself time to get through the evening city-centre traffic around South Bridge and Nicolson Street.
