On Wednesday 7th June our 5J - 7J girls have the fantastic opportunity of taking part in an all day workshop and performance organised by Scottish Opera. In the morning they will work with three Scottish Opera professionals and this will culminate in a performance for friends and family at 2.15pm in the gym. Over recent weeks, the girls have been split into three groups - the singers, the workers and the critics and have been rehearsing the songs and moves for the production with great enthusiasm. They are very excited to be performing these to an audience.
The ‘Curse of MacCabbra Opera House’ explores the work that goes into creating an opera, both on-stage and off. The 30 minute production follows writers Compo Zerr and Libby Retto as they work late into the night to finish their new opera at the MacCabbra Opera House. But there’s more to their helpful host Dee Parton than meets the eye, and as the clock strikes midnight, the singers, workers and critics of the old Opera House rise from their graves to give Compo and Libby some spooky help. Can Compo and Libby hold their nerve to finish their masterpiece? Will the critics slay their creation? And more importantly, will Compo and Libby make it safely through the night?
