Only Men Aloud Join 60th Birthday Open House
A year’s worth of celebrations culminated in an Open House day
at the College on October 31, with an opportunity to go behind the
scenes at Wales’ National Conservatoire and Drama School.
The day featured a range of activities including backstage,
college and hard hat tours, music recitals, playback of radio
dramas, stage combat demonstrations and acting masterclasses.
There were also opportunities to wonder at giant paper
sculptures, enjoy performances from favourite musicals or take part
in a studio recording session. The musically motivated had the
chance to play a Steinway Grand piano, a brass instrument or bang
some drums, while those looking to glam up could try on some of our
amazing collection of costumes. Interactive workshops allowed
guests to create their own composition and there was a special
Department Six exhibition of original art from the Doctor Who
series.
Only Men Aloud Open Rehearsal
Only Men Aloud invited the public to watch them at work as they
prepared for their upcoming national tour.
The choir - many of whom are past and present RWCMD students -
rehearsed at the College and then gave a special performance of
Happy Birthday to celebrate the College’s 60th birthday as
part of the Open House celebrations.
