The Scots Opera Project, with its community chorus under the direction of founder David Douglas, first presented their chamber adaptation of The Seal-Woman at the Perth Festival two years ago. Here we are given a further opportunity to experience it in the recently added amphitheatre at Pitlochry.
It is a charming piece of operatic folklore from the 1920s. Text by Marjorie Kennedy Fraser, with music by Granville Bantock - both highly regarded in their day.
The cast of five is the same as before, with the exception of a new baritone, already a familiar name, as the Fisherman and Water-Kelpie; Music director is Andrew Johnston, with Esther Swift (harp) and Claire Robertson (violin).
At Pitlochry they are also performing a revival of the first work the company did, back in 2015. This is a masterpiece of the French baroque, Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Actéon.
