The show was performed at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival and garnered 4-star reviews. Book & Lyrics / Director: Michael Scott The Queen of the Night: Jennifer Murray Lady Macbeth: Elaine Young Cinderella: Caroline Warburton Saxophone: James Kean Music Tracks: Mark Adams Publicity Art: Robert Powell ‘The Queen of Night (Jennifer Murray) and The Queen of Scots aka Lady Macbeth (Elaine Young) have decided to put on a concertino celebrating the queens of opera. But, after discovering that the Queen of Spades is in fact a playing card, have been joined by Cinderella (Caroline Warburton) as a substitute, even though she’s not technically a queen. 'the cleverness of Scott’s writing and the panache with which Murray-Smith, Young, and Warburton perform it’ 'All three queens hold their own with both vocal chops and comedy, maintaining distinct personas and excellent comic timing'. ‘The queens romp through their setlist of parody arias from their respective operas (and others, and a few strays from outside the genre) with delightful wittiness and strong vocals. Their songs tied together by intermittent dialogue on the themes of being a queen and who qualifies, and how while men can be both fun and useful, you don’t need one to be a queen.’ ‘Amidst the trio’s excellent vocals, running a gamut of twenty pieces with parodied lyrics by Scott, there’s plenty of humour and a through line of empowerment: a queen will always be a queen, and she doesn’t need a king to make her one.’ (AllEdinburghTheatre.com) (All Edinburgh Theatre) ‘Take a group of like-minded opera aficionados, sprinkle on a dollop of creativity and, lo and behold, you’ve got a perfect pastiche of life as a Queen in the Op-er-a.’ ‘very entertaining, tightly staged and powerfully sung show’ ‘The brainchild of lyricist/director Michael Scott, Three Queens From The Opera is a delightful diversion into opera familiars (and a few other musical genre) with the added bonus of freshly minted new lyrics, extolling the virtues of Queendom, life in a castle and, erm, love. Well, they had to throw in that last bit given that Cinderella runs off with her very own Prince Charming. Eventually.’ ‘You sometimes find with opera that the singing is great and the acting a bit dodgy. Or vice versa. Not here though. Two sopranos and an alto, each with strong, accurate voices and a natural affinity for commedia dell’arte (or acting the goat if you’re more prosaically minded) created a very enjoyable and professionally delivered piece of musical theatre.’ ‘The whole thing looked and sounded like it had been put together with passion, love and flair so hats off to this hard-working troupe for creating something that will live long in the memory, and for all the right reasons.’ (FringeReview, The Guide to Good Fringe) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/glenrothes/three-queens-from-the-opera-a-delightful-musical-parody-review-of-operatic-royalty/200029936536536 - **Event Categories**: Art, Theatre, Music, Entertainment, Festivals, comedy - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 15 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Glenrothes - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: 21 High Street, Leslie, KY6 3DA Glenrothes, United Kingdom - **lat**: 56.20387 - **long**: -3.20443 - **full address**: 21 High Street, Leslie, KY6 3DA Glenrothes, United Kingdom, 21 High Street, Glenrothes, KY6 3, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Three Queens from the Opera - A delightful musical parody review of operatic royalty - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8e912a1ca3193f1081333a635140d9ce160308c717560494123e4b21891b028b-rimg-w1200-h1697-dcfed7d7-gmir?v=1776071258 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Three Queens from the Opera - A delightful musical parody review of operatic royalty being held? - **A:** Three Queens from the Opera - A delightful musical parody review of operatic royalty takes place on Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm at 21 High Street, Leslie, KY6 3DA Glenrothes, United Kingdom, 21 High Street, Glenrothes, KY6 3, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Three Queens from the Opera - A delightful musical parody review of operatic royalty? - **A:** Three Queens from the Opera - A delightful musical parody review of operatic royalty is organized by Leslie Town Hall. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Three Queens from the Opera - A delightful musical parody review of operatic royalty", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8e912a1ca3193f1081333a635140d9ce160308c717560494123e4b21891b028b-rimg-w1200-h1697-dcfed7d7-gmir?v=1776071258", "startDate": "2026-05-15T19:30:00+01:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/glenrothes/three-queens-from-the-opera-a-delightful-musical-parody-review-of-operatic-royalty/200029936536536", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "21 High Street, Leslie, KY6 3DA Glenrothes, United Kingdom", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "21 High Street, Glenrothes, KY6 3, United Kingdom", "addressLocality": "Glenrothes", "addressRegion": "SC", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "56.20387", "longitude": "-3.20443" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Michael Scott presents \n\nThree Queens from the Opera - a delightful musical parody revue of operatic royalty\n\n٭٭٭٭\nAmusement: check.
