Opera for all

I had attended two training days at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff (home of WNO) to learn the children’s singing parts and some of the choreography, and returned with rehearsal notes and a CD. I had a couple of weeks to work with the school choir before the producer, Hannah Finch, brought a model of the set for a day’s workshop. Sharon Richards, the musical director, came to check on our progress.
One afternoon we rehearsed with WNO and the children were captivated. The following day we performed the opera to the school and held an evening performance for parents. A huge thank you must go to the WNO and to MultiA, the charitable organisation who selected us for the project and secured the funding.
