THE A TO Z OF OPERA

LEITMOTIF. A short melodic ‘idea’, sometimes of only a few notes, which is used by a composer to signify someone or something - like the music used in Jaws every time the shark comes near. Wagner developed the leitmotif to give unity to his works: in his The Ring Cycle there is a leitmotif for every character, every significant emotion, every important prop, and even elements of nature SCOTTISH OPERA: LIVE IN SOUTH LANARKSHIRE Live in South Lanarkshire. Commissioned by South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture. Join Scottish Opera’s 2020/21 Emerging Artist singers, Catriona Hewitson and Margo Arsane and pianist Derek Clark for a night at the opera.
