THE museum dedicated to Scotland's national bard will be the setting for a rarely performed opera.
Irvine-based tenor David Douglas has translated the French baroque opera Acteon into Scots.
The work will be performed at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum on Saturday August 16.
The opera tells of the young hunter who, caught peeking at the goddess Diana bathing, is turned into a stag by the furious deity, and then devoured by his own hounds.
The performance will feature rising stars Aimee Toshney and Colleen Nicol.
