ROYAL OPERA HOUSE EXPERIENCE

Date: 24 September 2024

Dear Parents and Cares of Year 1 to Year 6,

I am so excited to share some incredible news with you. Rose Lane Primary is going to the ROYAL OPERA HOUSE on TUESDAY 8^TH OCTOBER!!!

Through a ballot, we have been fortunate enough to be allocated 180 tickets for this season’s performance of ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND.

 ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND is an absolute spectacle, with a tap-dancing mad hatter, a huge puppet of the Cheshire cat and a queen of hearts on wheels!

Visiting the Royal Opera House is a unique experience. The theatre is in the heart of Covent Garden and has been housing performances for almost 300 years. It seats 2,256 people!!! Just standing inside the beautiful interior is quite jaw dropping! The orchestra pit is enormous and has space for 109 musicians.

• Tickets for the show are £7.50 for seats that cost up to £200 to the general public!!
• Travel will be by bus and train and so is free.
• We will leave school at 9.15am and return by approximately 5pm.
• This opportunity is open to any pupil from Y1 through to Y6.
• Tickets are available through PARENTPAY on a first come, first serve basis.
• Children will need a packed lunch, a morning snack and a snack for the afternoon, as well as plenty of water. A school packed lunch can be booked through ParentPay but you will still need to provide snacks and extra water.
• We do have some space for parents. If you are interested please phone the office and names will be drawn on 1^st Oct. On this occasion, we are asking parent helpers to pay for their ticket at £7.50.
• Children will need to wear full school uniform and waterproof jacket

This is a truly wonderful and unique experience for your child and we are proud to be able to offer this visit as part of ongoing drive to deliver a high quality and aspirational creative arts curriculum.

Yours sincerely

Mrs L Marsh

Assistant Deputy Head Teacher
