Summer Vacation

It’s 1930 - silent movies are out and talkies are in! The once-successful silent film director turned theatre impresario, Mr Scruples, has been given the gruelling task of bringing opera to the masses through the silver screen! But, an already difficult task is made frustratingly impossible by two warring diva sopranos who both insist on top billing…

Will they find a solution to make everyone happy? Will Mr Angel ever recover? Will Mr Scruples finally get to retire to the country? And will Mr Bluff ever be allowed to sing professionally again?...

After winning the prestigious Bobby Award last year, we are excited to be bringing Mozart's comic opera, The Impresario, into the 1930s in this ambitious production for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!
