Students Enjoy Opera Project

Year 10 and Year 11 Music students recently spent a day with music staff from Opera North creating scenes from Benjamin Britten's mysterious and haunting opera The Turn of the Screw. Students also attended a performance of the opera at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham. The workshops and performances were free to students as part of an outreach education programme run by this national company to introduce young people across the country to the exciting world of opera.

Performance Scholarship for Young Talent 2011/2012

The Rotary Club of Blaby and Leicester arts company Citizen598 are working alongside Guthlaxton College to provide a scholarship for an outstanding individual or group during the academic year 2011/2012.
This person or group may excel in one particular area of study or be looking for an opportunity to develop themselves further whether this be in the form of helping towards the cost of a course or paying for travel or equipment - it really depends on the individual or group.
The project gets underway with a PLATFORM evening of entertainment at the College on Thursday 17 February 2011.
