🎼 In 1971, the now world-renowned conductor, Nicholas Kraemer together with local music teacher Serena Hughes created W11 Opera & took on a cast of 100 children in #benjaminbritten's 'NOYE'S FLUDDE'. That's where it all started today we're still gong strong as London Youth Opera! #London #youthopera
