Photo Shoot: Melanie Gall & Opera Mouse

By David P Scott | Published on Saturday 20 August 2016

Internationally-acclaimed vocalist Melanie Gall has two shows at the Fringe this year, though in one of them, she’s not the star. That role goes to Tilly, the opera house mouse who dreams of performing on stage.

We talk to Melanie about her show ‘Opera Mouse’ in the next edition of ThreeWeeks, and booked in a photo shoot ahead of the interview.

Says the show’s blurb: “Tilly Mouse lives under an opera house, and she just loves to sing! Her dream is to perform on stage. But whenever anybody sees her, they scream and run away. With determination, imagination, and help from her friends, Tilly proves that even a mouse can be a star!”

And with that in mind, we ought to have at least one shot with the star upfront.

Look out for our interview with Melanie in the Week Three issue of ThreeWeeks out on Wednesday.

‘Opera Mouse’ was performed at theSpace @ Surgeon’s Hall at Edinburgh Festival 2016.
