The Beggar’s Opera is a ballad opera in three acts written in 1728 by John Gay. It is the only example of the once thriving genre of satirical ballad opera to remain popular today.

The lyrics of the airs in the piece are set to popular broadsheet ballads, opera arias, church hymns and folk tunes of the time.

Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are a treasure-hunting couple whose eight-year quest for the ultimate prize has left them flat broke. Ben "Finn" Finnegan (McConaughey) is a treasure hunter who has made it his mission in life to track down the Queen's Dowry -- a legendary collection of 40 chests filled with priceless treasure. Tess (Hudson) has grown tired of the hunt, and now she's looking to start her life anew by going to work on the massive yacht of a globetrotting billionaire. But just as Tess begins to relish the freedom on her new, laid-back lifestyle, Finn uses his roughish charm to convince the adventurous baron that the elusive treasure is finally within reach and Tess is forced on yet another wild goose chase.

Jane (Katherine Heigl) has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself. Her entire life has been about making people happy -- and she has a closet full of 27 bridesmaid dresses to prove it. One memorable evening, Jane manages to shuttle between wedding receptions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, a feat witnessed by Kevin (James Marsden), a newspaper reporter who realizes that a story about this wedding junkie is his ticket off the newspaper's bridal beat. Jane finds Kevin's cynicism counter to everything she holds dear -- namely weddings, and the two lock horns. Further complicating Jane's once perfectly-ordered life is the arrival of younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman). Tess immediately captures the heart of Jane's boss. Tess enlists her always-accommodating sister to plan yet another wedding -- Tess and George's -- but Jane's feelings for him lead to shocking revelations...

And, by way of Mary Queen of Scots, the Flouers o' the Forest and a little touch of the Undead Shakespeare, she uncovers the hysterical horror at the heart of this Caledonian darkness... and what really happened that night in Ballachulish... In their sinister and stupid celebration of all things theatrical and Scottish, Messrs Swindle & Death promise you an evening of unfettered wierdness, leaving no cliché unpunished and no sporran unturned.

A concert with John Kenny: alto, tenor and bass trombones; Catriona McKay: harp; and the Edinburgh String Quartet. The Edinburgh based trombonist John Kenny is internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading exponents of contemporary music, but he is also well known in Scotland as the man who plays the carnyx, Scotland’s 2000 year old Celtic war horn. He is the only trombonist to have developed a repertoire with string quartet! Now working with the internationally acclaimed Scottish harpist Catriona McKay and the Edinburgh Quartet, an entirely new repertoire for string quartet, harp and trombone has been commissioned. It is a combination of extraordinary subtlety and beauty, which has never been heard before – five composers of very different character and background, from Scotland, France, England, and Bulgaria.
