Strathpeffer residents can enjoy a pop-up opera gig this summer

Scottish Opera's popular pop-up opera is back this year and tickets are now on sale.

The show will come to the Ross-shire village of Strathpeffer on June 16 performing at 12pm, 2pm and 3:30pm.

Audiences will enjoy shows of A Little Bit of Barber, Be A Sport, Spike! and A Little Bit of Figaro.

Aimed at children aged 4 to 8, Be A Sport, Spike! was originally commissioned for Festival 2018, the cultural programme for the Glasgow European Championships and tells the story of Mike ‘The Spike’ McTavish, the 'greatest sportsman the world has ever seen'.

The 30-minute shows are brought to life by storyteller Allan Dunn, along with singers Sarah Power, Jessica Leary and Andrew McTaggart, and cellist Andrew Drummond Huggan and guitarist Sasha Savaloni.

Scottish Opera’s director of education, Jane Davidson, said: ‘The last couple of years have proved beyond doubt that Scottish audiences are prepared to turn out to enjoy Pop-up Opera in all weathers – so once again we are taking to the road, visiting locations and venues across Scotland, with another trio of productions."

The show will also be at Eden Court on June 15.
