Page structure
We try to give each page on our site a clear, descriptive heading. The global navigation appears in the same place at the top of every page.  At any point, you can return to the homepage by clicking on the Scottish Opera logo.

Images
All images on the site are given Alternative Text to provide a description of the image for use by screen reader software, or where an image fails to load correctly.

Links
Links between pages are clearly denoted by colour and boldness of text. We try to ensure that a link accurately describes the page it leads to.

PDF files
Some information on our site is held in Portable Document Format (pdf). You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to access these files. Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe website.

Accessible performances
We provide a number of services for visually impaired patrons such as audio-described performances and touch tours, and can provide information about our operas in large print format.
