Catriona and the Dragon
5 April 2023 @ 19:30
Join us for the world premiere of Lammermuir Festival’s new community opera for East Lothian.
Catriona is the reluctant ruler of the Kingdom of Beagland, her people threatened by destruction by a fearsome dragon beyond the Bridge to Nowhere. After fleeing her responsibilities, she ultimately finds the courage to cross over to the beast’s lair, sword in hand. When she returns, miraculously alive, she summons the citizens of the land to her court to tell them what she has discovered about the real blight in Beagland. Composer: Lliam Paterson | Libretto-direction: Laura Attridge | Conductor: Sian Edwards
