A creative music project for primary school children and individuals with varying forms and stages of dementia
Pirates of Penzance was Opera Holland Park’s pilot intergenerational project for KS2 primary school children and individuals with varying forms and stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Two year 5 classes from St Charles Primary School (RBKC) and service users from a nearby Alzheimer’s day centre, Chamberlain House, enjoyed a variety of activities based around popular themes and music from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance, culminating with a performance of the operetta delivered by a professional cast of opera singers.
