Glasgow locations including King's Theatre spotted in new rom-com streaming on Netflix

As proud Glaswegian's there's nothing we love more than spotting our wee city on the big screen.

And during our latest scroll through Netflix, we did just that in a new romantic comedy on the streaming site.

Falling for Figaro, starring Joanna Lumley, Danielle Macdonald (Dumplin'), and Hugh Skinner (Mamma Mia), features some Glasgow sites.

The movie tells the story of a young fund manager who leaves her unfulfilling job and long-term boyfriend to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an opera singer in the Scottish Highlands.

Joanna Lumley plays renowned but terrifying singing teacher and former opera diva Meghan Geoffrey-Bishop who gives intense vocal training lessons.

It's there she meets Max, who is also a student training for the upcoming Singer Of Renown contest. You might be able to guess what comes next...

The film was shot in Glasgow last year and features some recognizable locations including the Theatre Royal and the King’s Theatre.

Glasgow has become quite the destination for filmmakers in recent years. As well as The Flash, Indiana Jones, Batgirl, and Batman, the city has been used in a number of television shows with Kelvin Hall used as a prison in the upcoming drama Screw.

Falling for Figaro is streaming on Netflix now.
