There are some moments in life where something truly magical happens that you will never forget. Singing onstage with a live orchestra and opera singers at the historic Balboa Theatre at Classics 4 Kids’ World Premier of The Enchanted Tail Opera was one of those times for our Apprentice Choristers.

In collaboration with the spirited live orchestra, opera singers, and actors, our choristers sang four songs, including “Edelweiss” and “Funiculi, Funicula” to audiences of over 900. Our 3rd to 5th grade choristers said, “Singing with the orchestra was so exciting,” and “I loved singing with the opera singers” after this magical, larger than life experience. We thank Dana Zimbirch and her team at Classics 4 Kids for the opportunity.

Note: These performances have been broadcast on several occasions on ITV Channel 16
