SUMMARY:Scottish Opera presents two 30-minute operas
DESCRIPTION:Join Scottish Opera at Portobello Town Hall to experience opera
  on a miniature scale\, with a double-bill evening of specially created 30
 -minute performances brought to life by two singers\, two instrumentalists
 \, and a set of specially commissioned illustrations. The perfect introduc
 tion to opera!\n\n\nPop-up Opera is once again touring Scotland with two n
 ew shows: A Little Bit of Rigoletto and A Little Bit of The Elixir of Love
 . Chosen to reflect the stark contrast between the light and dark sides of
  love\, these stories will take audiences from the depths of tragedy in th
 e shady underworld of the city\, to the heights of romantic comedy in the 
 sun-kissed Italian countryside. These 30-minute shows are the perfect intr
 oduction to opera. Enjoy a single performance or a double feature! \n\n\n
