NZ Opera Visit St Martins!



The Year 5-8 syndicates had an exciting visit from NZ Opera, they preformed an opera called the Barber of Seville, it had a couple of twists but  everybody still enjoyed it, they even pulled our very own Miss Hill into the act as a police officer. It was amazing to watch, it was great fun and it had quite a bit of humour that the children could understand as well.

There were six characters, The barber - Figaro, The Count/Lindoro, Rosinna's Step Mother - Dr Bartolo, Countess Rosinna, Dr Bartolo's lawyer, and last but not least the Police Officer played by our very own Miss Hill.

The Barber of seville is a love story between The Count/Lindoro and Rosinna, but Rosinna's mean Step Mother, Dr Bartolo, doesn't approve of there affection for each other and tries to shatter their relationship by trying to marry Rosinna to another (rich) man as quick as possible. She tries to trick Rosinna into thinking they are fooling her, and taking away the escape ladder.

But all in all everybody loved it and its humour!
