Cinderella at the Coliseum

Last week, pupils from Years 8–11 had the fantastic opportunity to attend a performance of Cinderella (La Cenerentola) by Rossini at the iconic London Coliseum — home of the English National Opera (ENO).

This enchanting reimagining of the classic fairytale was brought to life with vibrant staging, stunning vocals, and Rossini’s signature wit and energy. For many students, it was their first experience of live opera, and they were captivated by the storytelling, the music, and the sheer scale of the production.

A huge thank you to the ENO for making opera accessible and engaging — and to our wonderful pupils, who were brilliant ambassadors throughout the trip!
