Hippolyta | Scottish Opera

our lost lovers collide with quarrelling fairies, resulting in magic, mayhem, and mistaken identities in Britten’s otherworldly operatic reimagining of Shakespeare’s timeless comedy.

Dominic Hill, Artistic Director of the Citizens Theatre, returns to Scottish Opera to bring his Shakespearean expertise to bear once more. Joined by designer Tom Piper, famed for the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation at the Tower of London, he promises to enchant and entertain with Britten’s beguiling work. 


"Britten's wonderful music has always captivated me, plunging us into the mysterious, unnerving world of sleep and dreams."
Dominic Hill

They are both making their role debuts alongside countertenor Lawrence Zazzo as Oberon. Also in the cast is Scottish tenor and broadcaster, Jamie MacDougall (Falstaff 2021); former Scottish Opera Emerging Artist Elgan Llŷr Thomas (Falstaff 2021); Dingle Yandell (Tosca 2019); Jonathan McGovern (The Telephone 2020) and 2021-22 Emerging Artists, Lea Shaw and Glen Cunningham, who both recently toured with Opera Highlights. They are joined by a children’s chorus.
