Tayside Opera celebrated its 45th Anniversary in 2008. Over the years, the company has presented some of the most loved works in the opera repertoire. We attract wide support from the people of Tayside, being one of the few companies to provide fully staged Operas in the region.

In past years we performed in The Gardyne Theatre, which has been well suited to opera, having a modular stage and orchestra pit. For the past 3 years the Gardyne Theatre has been out of commission and we have adapted our staging to The Bonar Hall at the University of Dundee until such time as a space akin to the Gardyne becomes available again. In many ways our recent and current  productions have benefitted from the intimacy available at the Bonar Hall. This year's show, La Boheme is a highly human and personal story that works very well as a chamber production. We have obtained the rights to perform using a reduced orchestra, which preserves the excitement and sonority of a full orchestra, but provides a much better balance of sound in the Bonar Hall. We hope that you find our current staging a fully engaging and satisfying musical experience.

Below we've listed some of our past productions and we hope this gives you a sense of the versatility and range of our company. To those of you who are regular supporters, our thanks. To those of you who are visiting for the first time, welcome. We look forward to seeing you at our next performance.
