This year, Stagecoach is hosting an 'advanced' course for older students - a chance to perform in the school edition of the classic musical Les Misérables as one of their summer courses.

All Stagecoach's Easter and summer courses this year will be performed at the theatre at Headington School. Joining the line-up of musicals for senior and junior groups are Breaking The Line, set here in Oxford, Looking for Elvis, a fantastical adventure, and Star Academy for younger students. There is something for everyone from age four to 18.

Stagecoach students have the amazing opportunity to appear at the New Theatre, Oxford, with the world renowned cast of Ellen Kent & Opera International in their spring performances of Swan Lake (pictured right), Coppelia, Turandot and Aida. Students have also appeared in previous performances with great success.

Maya Sprigg, Principal of Stagecoach Oxford, said "Nothing can beat the excitement of performing on stage alongside a world-class professional cast. Our students are extremely lucky!'"
