The operahouse project: partnership with a primary school

 

Project description

One year-group at Forest Prep will join forces with their contemporaries at a neighbouring Primary school to write an opera as part of an expressive arts project.

The Operahouse Project will involve a writer-in-residence and musician-in-residence working with pupils for one week to develop the music and the lyrics of an opera inspired by a famous local house.

Parents from both schools will attend the performance of the opera at the end of the project week.

Funding for the project has been obtained from the schools' Parents' Associations and various arts and musical charities.

Benefits

Pupils - opportunity to get involved with a expressive arts project with children from another school;

School - an educationally useful example of a cross-sector initiative.
