Education

For our Education Workshops in 2010 Maria Jagusz and Richard Studer, will lead a three day non-residential workshop at Longborough, looking at Madama Butterfly and the musical based on it Miss Saigon.

Singer, director and teacher Maria Jagusz has led many workshops for Longborough and directed last year’s Young Artists’ production of La Boheme.  Richard Studer is the director and designer of our production of Madama Butterfly.

The workshop will be suitable for years 7 - 13.   It will take place at Longborough on 7, 8 and 9 April from 10 am until 5 pm.  There will be a short performance to friends and relatives on the Friday afternoon.

The cost of the workshops is £25.  Students will need to bring a packed lunch each day.  For information about forthcoming workshop opportunities, please contact Amanda at education@lfo.org.uk

Work Experience at Longborough
We have provided work experience for school students from year 10 and upwards as well as gap-year and university students every year since 1998.

There are places in the opera office, front of house and backstage. This last season we welcomed students of singing, drama and textiles, who helped out in various capacities.  We love having these young people here during the season and are very grateful to them for their part in the development of what we are doing here.
