We opened our orchestral rehearsals to schools from across Hampshire to observe Guiglio Cesare, Celebrating Sinatra and Eugene Onegin, including introductions from the production team, including the stage director and conductor. We also created a Eugene Onegin schools resource pack for teachers to use in classroom sessions in the lead up to the final stage and orchestra run. A highlight of the summer included a bespoke Soul of Opera performance for schools with the Welsh National Opera Orchestra, hosted by American conductor Daniel Batholomew Poyser and Canadian singer Jah'Mila.
