Trip to Glyndebourne
On Tuesday, Mr Cousins and Mr and Mrs Shouksmith took a group of music scholars and pupils from St Andrew’s Prep to Glyndebourne’s production of Cendrillon – an opera by Massenet. It was a very interesting, modern production of an opera based on the classic tale Cinderella.
The children had been looking forward to watching this production and all who attended were entertained by a marvellous show with world-class singing.
For many of the children, it was their first trip to Glyndebourne. In addition to enjoying the opera, they were blessed with fantastic weather, which was perfect to appreciate the gardens and beautiful surroundings of the opera house. At the end of the performance, the cast came out into the foyer and the pupils were able to meet them and ask questions. All in all, it was an extremely entertaining and enriching musical experience.
