\"\"<\/a>Scottish Opera visited Kintyre last week and put on a fabulous show at Campbeltown Grammar. 7 local primaries had encouraged their P7 pupils to embrace the chance of working with SO to help stage the performance. Pupils contributions included: writing original material, graphic design, advertising and marketing, singing and acting, front of house and prop building.<\/p>\n

In total 65 pupils were involved all of whom came to the performance with 35 being part of the chorus on stage. SO rehearsed with these 35 pupils for 2 days and the entire company thrilled an audience of 340 with their version of a ‘The Elephant Angel’<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

It is a heart-warming show for audiences of all ages by composer Gareth Williams and acclaimed novelist Bernard MacLaverty. Based on a true story, it tells the tale of a lady zoo keeper who takes a baby elephant home with her each night during the Belfast Blitz, looking after it and keeping it safe with the help of the children who live near by.<\/p>\n

High School pupils also helped during the day with chaperoning pupils and putting up an exhibition of artwork resulting from the project which was displayed in the foyer.<\/p>\n

“I really enjoyed the job I had. I thought the show was quite good and I liked the elephant.”<\/em>
