ARTISTIC students from the Grays School Media Arts College have been busy working on sets with designers from the Royal Opera House.BTEC Art and Design students are designing a real working set for “The Voices of the Future” project due to be premiered in March 2009.
The students have been given the brand new opera, written for primary school children from Kent, and have been tasked with the exciting prospect of designing for the project.
Head of Art at the Hathaway Road-based school, Serena McKenzie, said: “We have given our students real vocational experience, something that can excite and challenge the students, but something that they can use the experience of in later life.
“To have the Royal Opera House as one of your clients on your CV at any age is a designers dream.”
The students are due to hand over the designs at a special exchange on Monday December 8 at the Covent Garden venue, when they will meet the young performers and watch a rehearsal of the project, before watching a special schools performance of Hansel and Gretel
