Eric The Elf
A very special show for wee ones this Christmas time - join Eric on his adventure to save Christmas.
It’s Eric’s first day working in Santa’s Grotto and he is about as excited as an Elf can be. But what starts out as a magical day filled with fun soon goes wrong, as Eric is left all on his ownsome with the future of Christmas resting entirely on his rather small shoulders. Thankfully, a whole bunch of his little human pals have shown up, little children from all over Scotland and beyond. Surely if they work together, they can get the job done?
A fun-filled, interactive, inspiring musical adventure with lots of laughs and songs to join in with this Christmas.
Written and Composed by Andy McGregor Directed by Julie Ellen Set and Costume Design by Claire Halleran Sound Design by Gary Cameron
First produced and presented by the Citizens Theatre

The Grinch (Cumberbatch) is a grumpy, green creature who despises Christmas so much that he plots to steal it. The animation is gorgeous, the pace is breezy and Cumberbatch does a decent job with the voice, but the film is stolen by the Grinch’s adorable dog Max.

Metropolitan Opera: Florencia en el Amazonas
- 2023
- US
Sung in Spanish and inspired by the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez, Mexican composer Daniel Catán’s 1996 opera tells the enchanting story of a Brazilian opera diva who returns to her homeland to perform at the legendary opera house of Manaus—and to search for her lost lover, who has vanished into the jungle. The performance stars soprano Ailyn Pérez as Florencia Grimaldi, with Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to lead a spellbinding new production by Mary Zimmerman that brings the mysterious and magical realm of the Amazon to the Met stage. A distinguished ensemble of artists portray the diva’s fellow travelers on the river boat to Manaus, including soprano Gabriella Reyes as the journalist Rosalba, bass-baritone Greer Grimsley as the ship’s captain, baritone Mattia Olivieri as his enigmatic first mate, tenor Mario Chang as the captain’s nephew Arcadio, and mezzo-soprano Nancy Fabiola Herrera and baritone Michael Chioldi as the feuding couple Paula and Álvaro.

Munro Legacy Exhibition
The term ‘Munros’, used to describe Scotland’s mountains of 3,000 feet and over, is well known. Less well-known is how the term came about and the man to whom it applies. This exhibition is presented by the Munro Society and tells the story of Scotland’s mountains as a source of recreation from its 19th Century beginnings to the present day and, in particular, the contribution of the man whose name is used to describe Scotland’s highest mountains.
The exhibition tells the story of Sir Hugh Munro’s life, the birth of the Tables, the growth of completers, the pioneers, the working-class movement, the post-war years, recent times and, of course, the Munro Society. Other subjects included are developments impacting our hills and youth on our hills.
