What are the classes about?

Opera is all about telling exciting, larger than life stories in which fantastic and sometimes unbelievable things happen, so it's the perfect art form for kids to really let go and enjoy themselves. It's also an ideal starting point for discovering more about music, and about the countries in which the many thousands of operas that exist were written.

Scottish Opera's Sing Up Saturdays are run by a small, handpicked team of singers, language teachers, and drama and art specialists. Through song, games, art activities, drama, dance and more, they bring to life the music, language, culture and traditions of two of those countries: Italy, the home of opera, and Spain.

Classes are sold in three 8-week terms. Activities and skills will be developed throughout the year so to get the best out of the classes we recommend signing up for a whole year. Children are welcome to join the classes in terms 2 or 3. Not everything will be repeated but essential activities will be covered each term, so they won't miss out. And to make sure they get a chance to show you exactly what they've been up to, the summer term culminates in a special interactive open day, giving participants the chance to show off their new-found skills to friends and family.

All classes are held at Scottish Opera's Technical Centre, 40 Edington Street, Glasgow, G4 9RD.

Parking is available on site.

Parents and guardians are welcome to drop children off or relax in the café for the duration of each class.
