Stagecoach performing arts students Portsmouth perform the King’s Theatre Southsea

The students from the performing arts school worked tremendously hard during rehearsals to deliver a fantastic performance on Tuesday evening.

Students, between 6 and 10 years enjoyed being part of the production which dazzled with Bizet's unforgettable melodies including ‘The Toreador’s Song’, Carmen’s enticing ‘Habanera’, and Don José’s lyrical ‘Flower Song’ in a setting evoking the stunning architecture of Seville and its main square with Roman and Moorish influences.

These performances are not only entertaining but also help build upon the students’ creativity, courage and skills that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Valerie Weyland, Principal of Stagecoach Portsmouth, said: “The children loved learning about the opera and being a part of a multinational company with a huge orchestra for the night.”

In the 36 years since launching, Stagecoach Performing Arts has seen more than one million students unlock their creative potential, which they will value for their whole lives.
