Carmen Unwrapped Wed 4th November

Our friends at Scottish Opera have very kindly offered P5-P7 pupils a wonderful opportunity to attend their ‘Carmen Unwrapped’ session on Wednesday 4^th November. The children will walk to the Festival Theatre so should wear comfortable shoes and a waterproof jacket. The session is free and runs from 1pm to 2pm. P5-P7 pupils will be able to have an early lunch at 11.45am and will leave school at 12.30pm, returning at 2.30pm.

Carmen Unwrapped involves singers, backstage crew and The Orchestra of Scottish Opera. The children will hear highlights from the music and be introduced to the principal characters from the opera, the plot and some key scenes. They will also find out about the props, costumes, lighting and direction, as well as some of the theatrical secrets behind the production.


Many children might already recognise 'Habanera' from the Pixar film 'Up'.
