In 2008 Glyndebourne Education presented its first Performance for Schools at the Regent Theatre, Stoke on Trent with a production of The Magic Flute.
The performance was exceptionally well received by both our young audience and the Regent Theatre's team and was a great way of introducing large numbers of students to opera, or to enhance an already established interest in the art form.
Unfortunately we are not able to repeat the Performance for Schools in Stoke-on-Trent as part of Glyndebourne on Tour 2009. However, due to the enthusiastic response it received, we are confident it will return shortly.
In the meantime, schools and young people from the surrounding area can continue to be involved with Glyndebourne Education's work on Tour by investigating our Opera Experience programme.
The Performaces for Schools are supported by Arts Council England.
