Enjoy all the fun-filled musical adventures of our favourite dog-and-cat duo – live!

When their flute-playing neighbour heads to La Scala Opera House in Milan to judge the competition for the Greatest Orchestra in the World, Stan and Mabel decide to follow – and to create their very own Animal Orchestra along the way!

Join the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, conductor Gregory Batsleer and for a fabulous musical tale presented by Children’s TV Presenter Chris Jarvis and the SCO’s very own Aisling O’Dea, written, and illustrated by Jason Chapman and set to music by Paul Rissmann. It’s purr-fect for four- to eight-year-olds and their adults.

You’d be barking to miss it!

Written and illustrated by Jason Chapman
Music by Paul Rissmann

Chris Jarvis: narrator
Gregory Batsleer: conductor
Introduced by Aisling O’Dea

Join us for 90 minutes of furry foyer festivities before the concert! We have music, circus, stories and crafts to entertain and engage the whole family. Create your own animal masks, explore story books, and watch some clever circus tricks while you listen to our fabulous wandering musicians. 

*Competition Time* stay tuned for your opportunity to meet Chris Jarvis and win some Stan and Mabel goodies!

If you’re feeling peckish after all that fun, the café is open for drinks and light snacks or you can bring your own refreshments to enjoy in the indoor picnic area. 

All foyer activities free to ticket-holders.

Buggy park and nappy changing areas on site.

Please note: This concert is not part of Jan-May multibuy offer.
