Up and Coming Events

Show Promoters from outwith Orkney continually monitor tickets sales. Orcadians are normally very slow to commit to buying tickets, this runs the risk of the shows being pulled. Can I kindly suggest if you are interested in any show, please can you purchase your tickets sooner rather than later, full refunds will be given for any shows that get cancelled.

Water cooler moments, scheming co-workers and the leaving do that some would like to forget! The Office Party is a perfect opportunity to hear extracts from operas that may be new to you, against a backdrop of 1980s nostalgia that may be all too familiar...

We’re taking opera out of the opera house and into halls across Scotland in an intimate, immediate and relatable production in Spring 2026. Four talented singers, including 2025/26 Emerging Artists Daniel Barrett and Kira Kaplan, form the cast of colleagues navigating workplace dynamics and office politics, bringing recognisable workplace scenarios to the stage.

The Office Party celebrates under-rated and lesser-known pieces of music from Die Fledermaus, Pagliacci, Romeo and Juliet and more, including the world’s shortest one-act opera, Barber’s A Hand of Bridge. Audiences can expect laughter and office hi-jinks alongside emotive and tender moments, brought together through clever staging and set design by director Emma Doherty (The Giant’s Harp 2025) and designer Kenneth MacLeod (Opera Highlights Spring 2025)

So clear your in-tray, unplug the desk phone, and book now for an office party with a difference this Spring. The perfect chance to try something new!

March 7th 2026.

Scottish singer, songwriter, and accordionist Calum MacPhail is making waves with his vibrant fusion of traditional Scottish folk and Irish music. 

An exciting new presence on the Celtic live music scene, Calum first made his mark at just 16 when he founded the award-winning folk band Hò-rò, touring internationally and captivating audiences with his high-energy performances. Now, he brings his latest show to the stage alongside his talented band, fresh from the release of his acclaimed album ‘Highlands to Heartlands’, featuring the fan-favourite single ‘Bonnie Wee Jeannie.’

In the past two years, Calum has built a loyal fanbase through sold-out performances, including standout shows at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness and appearances at the prestigious Royal Highland Show. His growing reputation has also led to support slots for some of Ireland’s biggest stars, including The Tumbling Paddies, Nathan Carter, and Derek Ryan. His success has extended across the Irish Sea, with numerous highly successful media and promotional tours of Ireland.
