Scottish Opera: Director Quits, Chorus Axed

Scottish Opera’s woes mount. The director of the company’s “La Boheme” has quit over a dispute about scenery. And “the opera’s own tragedy reached a new low yesterday. After 34 chorus members singing in La Bohème were told minutes before the curtain went up on Thursday that they faced redundancy, the rest of the 88 staff facing the axe were formally informed by the company yesterday.”
