Scottish Opera: The Jolly Beggars
Join the Scottish Opera Community Choir at Cottiers as they recreate the setting of the Mauchline pub Poosie Nansie's for an evening of song and merriment!
About Scottish Opera: The Jolly Beggars
Robert Burns’ and Henry Bishop’s The Jolly Beggars is conducted by Katy Lavinia Cooper and performed by the Chorus alongside professional soloists.
As a narrator guides you through this world of revellers, you will hear stories from a soldier, a tinker, a widow of a highland freebooter, a bard, and the irrepressible chorus of ‘vagrants’ that haunt Poosie Nansie’s. Written in 1785, ‘Love and Liberty: A Cantata’ – as The Jolly Beggars is also known – was never published during the poet’s lifetime, possibly for its irreverent content!
This performance is a chance to experience Burns’ rowdy masterpiece with music by Henry Bishop in the vivacious atmosphere it deserves.
