Join us for a fully staged version of Gianni Schicchi (from Puccini's epic tryptic Il trittico), specially created for those who enjoy a more relaxed opera experience.

If a full-length opera doesn’t feel like the right fit, our afternoon Access performances give you the flexibility and freedom to relax, move about as required, and have a fantastic time!

Access performances are open to all and make coming to a favourite opera as easy and stress-free as possible. With full cast and orchestra and narration to take you through the story, there are extra staff on hand to help and a smaller capacity to allow everyone space. So whether you’re living with dementia or Long COVID, recovering from an operation, have a young baby or would simply benefit from the more relaxed atmosphere, you can enjoy everything opera has to offer.

Dementia Friendly.
Groups welcome.

World-renowned director Sir David McVicar returns to Scottish Opera with Puccini’s epic triptych, Il trittico – a first both for him and Scottish Opera.

Gianni Schicchi – one of the three one-act operas that together make up Il trittico – is a devilish black comedy following a dysfunctional family caught in the snare of a shameless conman.

Puccini’s score is a masterpiece of light and shade and includes the favourite ‘O mio babbino caro’.
