Our Scottish collection comprises over 1,400 books, DVDs and audiotapes with a Scottish connection. The authors, actors, producers and other participants are Scots or people of Scottish heritage from anywhere in the world. The book topics range from serious history, current affairs, politics, travel, biography, arts and culture to light-hearted humour, cooking and food.

Reserve your seat for the next Place à l’opéra, free lectures in English, animated by musicologist Pierre Vachon, on Tuesday, February 1st at 7:30 pm, with guests from the Opéra de Montréal Pierre Dufour, General and Production Director, and Michel Beaulac, Artistic Director, inviting you to explore the vast enterprise that makes Opera such an epic experience. An introductory video will take us backstage for a production of The Barber of Seville to see what goes on behind the scenes where over 150 people are hard at work: stagehands, flymen, stage managers, prop masters, hair stylists, make-up artists, musicians, supernumeraries… and, of course, the soloists.
