In a first for Scotland, a new opera, Navigate the Blood, is being performed in distilleries across the country – and is set to come to Oban. Sian Evans has written a story set in a small family distillery about a couple whose son has disappeared in mysterious circumstances. Performed against an industrial background, Navigate the Blood is touring regions where there is no accessible opera house giving many people an opportunity to see live opera for the first time.
In a powerful new partnership, Scottish indie-folk band, Admiral Fallow, pictured, has joined forces with composer Gareth Williams, pushing their collaborative boundaries in new creative directions to create the music for this opera.
