Access Don Giovanni – Scottish Opera at Eden Court Inverness
for participants
for carers
Our new accessible afternoon shows give you the flexibility and freedom to relax, move about as required, and have a stoatin’ time!
In the backstreets of 17th century Venice, Don Giovanni waits. Flitting from irresistible charm to brute violence in a heartbeat, he is the ultimate anti-hero – and he is about to suffer the ultimate reckoning. Mozart’s masterpiece is one of the world’s best-loved operas for good reason. Dark, atmospheric and bursting with life, it is full-blooded opera at its best.
With Dementia Friendly values at its core, this shortened performance is open to all, whether you’re living with dementia, recovering from an operation, have breathing difficulties, have a young baby, are on the autism spectrum – or even have a very loud laugh! – it's been designed to make coming to this favourite opera as easy and stress-free as possible.
'Great experience. We couldn't have been looked after better!'
