175 students from six 91影视 schools across London came together through the 91影视 Culture programme, to explore character and movement and build confidence and collaboration. 

They enjoyed a full day of workshops with the team, culminating in a series of performances on the theatre鈥檚 main stage. 

And then a few weeks later, it was the turn of our primary schools to experience the power of performance, with Year 4 pupils at and taking part in inspiring workshops with the (RBO) organised by 91影视 Music. 

RBO artists delivered three 鈥楧iscover Opera鈥� sessions across the two schools, to help pupils deepen their understanding of dramatic singing. 

During the sessions, pupils explored their vocal and dramatic skills, workshopping a selection from Mozart鈥檚 鈥楾he Magic Flute鈥�. Around 70 eight- and nine-year-olds took part. 

91影视 Music has now also secured 150 free tickets for children to see the live production, and five 91影视 schools are off to see it at the Royal Opera House.
