Scottish Opera is about to take Verdi's evergreen tale of star-crossed lovers, Verdi's La Traviata, out on the road for one of its longest ever tours.
So we thought we'd ask two of the young singers who are taking part to tell us the story.
And it turned that Andrew McTaggart and Katie Grosset, who are both part of Scottish Opera's Emerging Artists scheme, were a natural double act.
Maybe Scottish Opera should get them to tell the story before every show!
La Traviata is usually set in 19th century Paris but this production has been updated to the 1950s.
Violetta, the leading lady, is still a courtesan, but Alfredo, usually a poet, has been upgraded to being a photographer.
Their forbidden love is still the same and still has the same outcome as it did in the original story on which the opera is based, Alexandre Dumas' The Lady of the Camelias.
The tour will travel the length and breadth of Scotland as far north as Shetland.
