Pupil Shines at the Royal Opera House

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Shio, who secured his role through a competitive audition and is currently performing at the Royal Opera House in Handel’s opera Ariodante.

Shio plays Polinesso’s childhood, delivering a confident and expressive performance in this internationally renowned production. He has already appeared on stage and will perform two further shows on 17 and 21 December, representing All Saints Catholic College with professionalism and poise.

Ariodante is a Baroque opera by George Frideric Handel that tells a powerful story of love, jealousy, deception, and honour. Set in medieval Scotland, the opera follows Prince Ariodante as he faces betrayal and false accusations that test loyalty and truth, before justice is finally restored.

This remarkable achievement highlights Shio’s dedication, courage, and musical talent, and we are delighted to see him performing on one of the world’s most prestigious stages.

Congratulations to Shio on this outstanding accomplishment!
