English National Opera brings young people their first taste of opera

On behalf of English National Opera’s Engage team, Suzi worked with director Hazel Gould, and composer Jess Maryon Davies, to devise a programme of work that would bring the excitement of opera right into the heart of a primary school.

Children encountered characters banished from a magical forest, heard music by Mozart, Puccini, Britten and others, sang, wrote their own songs and helped the lost characters to find their way back home.
