HUNDREDS of primary school pupils across Argyll will rehearse and perform an opera based on Robert Burns’s iconic poem Tam o’ Shanter.
Scottish Opera’s annual primary schools tour hits the road in January 2017 with The Tale o’ Tam o’ Shanter, a show created to re-introduce young people to the works of the celebrated Scottish national bard. Schools are provided with high quality teaching resources, including a teachers’ support pack, to help introduce the songs from The Tale o’ Tam o’ Shanter to pupils in advance.
A team of Scottish Opera performers and arts education specialists then spend a day rehearsing and preparing the pupils for a choreographed, fully-costumed performance of The Tale o’ Tam o’ Shanterfor family and friends.
