Guerrilla opera in Edinburgh – Edinburgh MP out to lunch – Leith Neighbourhood Partnership – Cycle for Quarriers – At the National Gallery
Catch a glimpse of beautiful romance in surprising spots as the Edinburgh International Festival’s guerrilla opera series returns
From Tuesday 4 June to Saturday 15 June 2013, the Love in a…. series of opera performances will be popping-up in various public spaces around Edinburgh, as part of the Festival’s year round public engagement programme.
In 2012, the inaugural Love in a Library series charmed unsuspecting audiences with a moving story of unfolding feelings between a librarian and a reader. Building on last year’s pilot project, this June love spreads beyond just libraries, with performances exploring new stories in unexpected places.
Love in a… will enchant with a repertoire of exquisite songs performed by soprano Emma Morwood and lyric tenor Chris Elliott, accompanied by pianist John Cameron.
Exact dates, times and locations will be announced a couple of hours ahead of each performance on their Facebook and Twitter.
Keep an eye on the Festival’s social media profiles for further hints and romantic reminders.
