This is a great opportunity to find out if you'd like to be involved in the movement chorus or singing chorus for this opera production.

MOVE with Mark Evans

7 pm - 9 pm on Friday 5th March or 10.30 am - 12.30 pm on Saturday 6th March

Learn how to use movement to create character, mood and story using themes from our new opera theatre project as a starting point. The workshop will encourage you to express your ideas playfully in a safe and welcoming space. Please wear loose comfortable clothing that you can move easily in.

SING with Marcela Campaña

7 pm - 9 pm on Thursday 11th March or 10.30 am - 12.30 pm on Saturday 13th March

Learn how to connect and communicate with an audience singing songs from our new opera theatre project. The workshop will develop your singing technique and help you to explore your voice with confidence, whatever your starting point.
