Opera Go Round from Glasgow to Thurso
Seven singers, a piano and a carpet are the basic ingredients of Scottish Opera's small touring company, Opera Go

Joyce MacMillan catches up with them as their bus arrives on Islay in the Inner Hebrides on a journey which takes in village halls, schools and even the odd distillery, and the opera? What better than
Verdi's Macbeth.
