Breathe Freely is a new opera by the contemporary Scottish composer Julian Wagstaff. Written for three singers and piano trio, the chamber opera in two acts is set in 1943 against the backdrop of the Second World War.

At its core, Julian Wagstaff's opera is a multifaceted tribute to human commitment, history, interest, compassion and, of course, chemistry at the University of Edinburgh. It tells the semi-fictional story of several real and extraordinary chemists who have helped to make the Chemistry Department the exceptional institution it is today: the romantic pragmatist Stanislaw Hempel, the lovable perfectionist Chrissie Miller and Professor James Kendall FRS, whose book forms the basis of the synopsis.

Breathe Freely was premiered in 2013 to mark the tercentenary of the appointment of the first Chair of Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh.
