For children aged 4 to 8

Music by Karen MacIver. Words by Ross Stenhouse.

Scottish Opera’s Pop-up Opera is back with three brilliant half-hour shows for audiences of all ages!

In Be a Sport, Spike!, meet Mike ‘The Spike’ McTavish – the greatest sportsman the world has ever seen. There’s no-one who can run faster, jump higher or swim further than mega-fit Spike. But there is one thing that he can’t do – sing! Join him and his friends as he starts to exercise those vocal cords...and finds out that a little perseverance can go a long way.

About Pop-up Opera:
Experience all the drama and wonder of grand opera on a miniature scale, with intimate open-air performances brought to life by a storyteller, two singers, instrumentalists – and a sumptuous set of specially created illustrations.
