SCOTTISH OPERA
METROPOLIS

 

On the 20th March, pupils from classes 5, 6 and 7
joined two classes from Muirfield School to participate
in a Scottish Opera Workshop.

The children had been learning the songs for several
weeks prior to the day. Now it was time to put the whole
performance together under the title - METROPOLIS.

The songs and actions were to tell a little bit of the history
of the city of Glasgow.
