Moving Opera

My son was lucky to be chosen to attend a 4 day workshop run by Opera Queensland's Moving Opera program for schools.

At the end they did a presentation of the different activities the 25 boys and girls had done during the week: theatre sports, tableaux, diction, singing, drama. They did short ensemble pieces from Don Giovanni, Little Shop of Horrors and Pirates of Penzance.

Considering most of the boys had no musical background the results were a credit to all involved. And it looked like they had a lot of fun.

Here's Tarantara (When the foreman bears his steel) from Pirates of Penzance captured on a mobile phone.
