Welcome! Edinburgh Grand Opera is an opera company based in the capital.

We perform a fully-staged opera in the stunning Festival Theatre every March. The 2008 production will be the ever-popular Faust.

We also do a Festival Fringe show each year: in 2006, we had a sell-out show with "Dial M for Mozart" ; in 2007, we returned with with "Take Note!".

Musical Director Richard Lewis drives the chorus to achieve perfection, but it's not all hard work.  We're a friendly bunch and can usually be found in a local pub following rehearsals! – Join us >

Any questions? Contact us, we'd be pleased to hear from you!
