Take a look at what’s coming up below.
Welsh National Opera – Schools Concert
Fri 27 Nov, 1pm
Welsh National Opera’s Schools Concert is back with a vibrant and welcoming introduction to live orchestral music for pupils from years three to seven.
With a theme of Roman and Greek mythology, hosted by Elin Llwyd, this free concert blends well-known hits with rarer pieces, all brought to life by WNO Orchestra and a group of outstanding soloists. Offenbach’s energetic Can-Can brings a sense of joy and familiarity, encouraging young audiences to connect straight away. Meanwhile, Beethoven’s music from Prometheus stands out with its bold, cinematic quality – almost like a superhero soundtrack – making it both accessible and thrilling, even for those new to classical music. Adding to the playful atmosphere is Ballo de Orsi (‘Dance of the Bears’), a piece that feels wonderfully visual and full of character. Its lively narrative quality invites children to imagine scenes and movement, making the listening experience fun and immersive.
With its mythological theme, engaging repertoire and relaxed setting, this concert aims to create a memorable experience for the children attending, encouraging a passion for music and creativity. The concert is designed to support the Curriculum for Wales and National Curriculum in England and is augmented by a free resource pack for teachers to support classroom learning before and after the event.
National Theatre and The Unicorn’s The Last Wild – Schools Performances
An enthralling world premiere of Piers Torday’s much-loved story.
In a future where animals no longer exist, 12-year-old Kester lives in a silent, quarantined world… until one night a flock of excited pigeons and a bossy cockroach start talking to him!
Flown to a place where the last creatures in the land have survived, Kester is thrown into an extraordinary adventure where he must decide how far he will go to save the last of the wild. Packed with action, heart and humour, The Last Wild is an epic adventure about courage, friendship and fighting for a world worth saving.
Adapted by Jude Christian from the best-selling book by Piers Torday, winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, and directed by Unicorn’s Artistic Director Rachel Bagshaw, The Last Wild is the Unicorn’s first co-production with the National Theatre – touring nationwide in 2027.
This production includes specific performances for schools to attend for free from Wed 17 — Fri 19 Mar. A large number of subsidised and free tickets are available across all venues to help break down barriers to entry and build new audiences for theatre. The nationwide primary touring performances are free for all schools thanks to Hearn funding.
Performance dates and times are:
- Wed 17 Mar 2027, 10am & 1.30pm
- Thu 18 Mar 2027, 10am & 1.30pm
- Fri 19 Mar 2027, 11am
