Y6 Visit the Opera
Year 6 were amazed by some of the performances when they went to see Opera North's well-reviewed production of Hansel and Gretel recently.
As you might expect, there was a wide range of reactions from them as the story developed, in terms of the singing, staging and storytelling. The second act, which is much more melodic (and easy to understand) than the first, went down particularly well. Overall, some children loved it, some were still unconvinced but they certainly all left with lots of questions having had a fairly unusual experience!
