Opera Scenes School Tour
Experience Live Operatic Performance
On 19 and 20 Dec 2022, a total of 17 student vocalists went to Salesian English School and Carmel Holy Word Secondary School to perform scenes from four famous operas - Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) and Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Abduction from the Seraglio) by Mozart, A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Benjamin Britten and Candide by Bernstein. Their wonderful performances were met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. After the performances, the student vocalists invited the secondary school students to go up on stage to learn some signing techniques, foreign language phrases and stage acting. The participants gave their best, and their talent and potential shone through.
With the generous support of our patron Asian Insurance Company Limited, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) has been able to conduct the Opera Scenes school tours and foster a broader appreciation in music amongst young people in the past years. We are pleased to announce that their support will be extended to two more years and we look forward to introducing the world of opera to more students in future.
