Bravo! Perth youngsters land roles in classic opera production

Children from Perth’s Jamboree Choir and Cabaret Singers are to make their stage debut in English Touring Opera’s landmark new production of the classic Puccini opera, Tosca.

The dozen children, aged between eight and 12 years old, have been rehearsing with the assistance of English Touring Opera’s education team, for their first role in a national opera tour.

Tosca is the story of Floria Tosca, the wife to a painter who is called upon to hide an escaped political prisoner.

At the climax of act one, the local children, dressed as 19th century choristers, are part of a procession across the town.

The performance is at Perth Concert Hall on May 18.
