It used to be a magnificent opera house, its stage graced by the leadingsopranos and tenors of the age. Now the only divas at the Grand Old OperaHouse Hotel are the ones checking-in, there are fist fights in the lobby, andthere's scarcely a romantic hero to be found.Whenshy Aaron joins the hotel's inharmonious team, he's faced with emotionallyvolatile guests, apathetic staff and management that doesn't have a clue.

Notto mention the rumour of singing ghosts haunting the corridors.Butthrough all the madness, one voice stands out, capturing his ears and hisheart - and Aaron must go into battle with the hotel's magical chaos to findout the truth.Anuplifting ensemble comedy, Isobel McArthur's The Grand Old Opera House Hotelis a story of art bringing us together in hopeless circumstances, to the tuneof some of the most popular opera songs ever written.

It premiered at theTraverse Theatre, Edinburgh, during the Festival in August 2023, with DundeeRep Theatre, directed by Gareth Nicholls. It was the recipient of an EdinburghFringe First Award.
