The Sound of Music 2026 at the Cork Opera House 🥰
As The Sound of Music comes to an end tonight we just wanted to share a post about how incredibly proud of both of our beautiful students Sofia and Ruby who have been having the most incredible summer performing alongside such a wonderfully talented cast.
We take pride in how hard working all of our students are and how genuinely kind and lovely they are to everyone and to see them shine in such an incredible production makes us the proudest teachers & studio owners around 🫶
It’s our first time putting students forward for anything like this and we had no idea what to expect and we were absolutely blown away so a huge thank you to their fabulous Musical Theatre teacher Sarah B H for all the hard work put into everyone who auditioned. We know Sarah is incredibly proud of the girls as a teacher but also as a mom watching her daughter Sofia play the youngest of the Von Trapp children, Gretl 🥹
We know the girls are devastated the production has come to an end as they have had the time of their lives but we know this is just the beginning for them ⭐️
The future of all these talented kids in cork is so incredibly bright 🤩💫

“Empty Chairs” 🤍 ~ choreographed by Karena Walsh

Another dance that will be so missed 🥰 Our beautiful senior lyrical small group and one of my favourite pieces so far 🥹🫶
This dance got such beautiful comments from the judges every competition as well as golden buzzers and a choreography award we couldn’t be more proud of these girls and their commitment to always giving 100% to telling a story 💫 (not the cleanest time but my favourite angle to see their beautiful expressions) 👏
