Thursday 6 February 2025 Longborough Festival Opera This morning, Jazz Class had the privilege of taking part in a playground opera, performing alongside professional opera singers and the rest of the school were their audience! The children had the opportunity to meet the characters, become involved in re-writing the story and spend the morning singing and dancing along to the live music. It was the first time and many of our children had listened to opera music and we were all amazed at the beautiful sound. We were privileged to participate in this high energy, engaging, interactive performance and are looking forward to working with Longborough Festival Opera in the future.
