Year 5's visit to see the Welsh National Opera
Year 5 had a fantastic time visiting the Mayflower Theatre for an exciting introduction to the wonderful world of opera, led by the Welsh National Opera.
Throughout the experience, we learnt more about what opera is, explored the different types of opera singers and discovered how an orchestra works together to create beautiful music.
We were lucky enough to listen to some incredible classical pieces, discovering how music can be used to tell fascinating stories inspired by Greek and Roman mythology. It was wonderful to hear how different instruments, voices and melodies could bring these ancient myths and legends to life!
However, the experience wasn't just about listening! The performance was extremely interactive, giving us plenty of opportunities to join in and become part of the music ourselves. It was a brilliant opportunity to experience something new, develop our appreciation for music and discover the magic of live performance.
What a wonderful experience and certainly one we will never forget!
