Nights at the Opera
Four Hutchesons' pupils were selected to take part in Scottish Opera's production of Puccini's opera 'La bohème' this spring. Following auditions, Heather Stewart [P6], Sophia Johnstone [P6], David Reubens [P6] (not in photo) and Ashley Neilson [S2] rehearsed and then performed in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and Belfast. "We were asked by Scottish Opera if pupils would like to audition," says primary music teacher Caroline Stevenson, "and several went forward. We were delighted when four were chosen."
"It`s been a great experience for them," said one parent, "but they've had plenty of extra homework to make up for missing school!"
