OPERA GALACTICA

Opera Galactica was originally created by Richard Ferguson for Opera on a Shoestring, a small Glasgow based opera company. After two successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, it toured throughout Scotland in 2004. 

In 2019, a new production was staged in Brisbane, Australia. In addition to the four main roles - Princess Slayer, Duke, Guru, and Dark Invader - it included for the first time a small chorus of stormtroopers.
