The stunning surroundings of Scotland’s finest stately home will be the setting for a summer’s night classical music celebration and entertainment.
The inaugural Classic Summer Spectacular will deliver a magical sensory experience with breathtaking classical music, fireworks and refreshments, and will take place in the surroundings of Hopetoun House, situated on the outskirts of Edinburgh, on Saturday 8 August 2015.
Event Director Dianne Kerr said ”Detailed planning is underway and we are extremely passionate about delivering a stunning event in the natural surrounds of Hopetoun House.
“We have several top names in classical music lined up already including Scotland’s largest performing arts organisation, The Orchestra of Scottish Opera, conducted by the renowned Stuart Stratford and special guest, Britain’s Got Talent finalist, Lucy Kay.
“We truly hope this can become a regular fixture on the Scottish summer event’s calendar and will help put classical music events back on the map for enthusiasts, locals, tourists and families alike.”
Special guest Lucy Kay said ”I am honoured to be involved with this exciting event and delighted that we are adding to the classical music event scene here in Scotland.”
Gates open at 3.30pm for picnics and champagne in the gardens.
The musical programme begins at 6pm with the main concert starting at 7pm.
Standard access tickets (available via Ticketmaster) cost £32 for adults and £17 for children and hampers can be pre-ordered for collection on the evening. VIP hospitality in the Hopetoun House ballroom is also available.
