Digital Package

The Dragon of the Western Sea

Get your pupils singing and moving while learning!

We now offer the teaching resources of our much-loved annual Primary Schools Tour as a digital package.

Our digital package gives your P5-P7 pupils the opportunity to be involved in a special performance day. Using a comprehensive set of online learning resources to prepare your pupils for all aspects of presenting a performance to an audience, this package can be used either to stage your own show in school, or simply to enjoy some expressive arts activity in class. You'll find our comprehensive package of audio, video, and curriculum-based resources easy to follow.

Our flexible digital approach means you can build all elements of the project into your timetable or lesson plans at times that suit you, allowing you to deliver aspects of A Curriculum for Excellence.

Kindly supported by Scottish Opera’s Education Angels

About The Dragon of the Western Sea

In the year 1405, the great Dragon Throne Emperor of China, Zhu Di, has decided it is time his nation expanded its influence beyond the edge of the known world and into the mysterious Western Sea.

He assembles an enormous fleet of mighty ships with 28,000 crew, and fills them with all the treasure and riches of China. Enough to buy the gratitude and friendship of those unknown lands beyond the setting sun.

Only one man could be trusted to lead such a dangerous and important mission, the great Admiral Zheng He, the Dragon of the Western Sea.

Book Now

The Dragon of the Western Sea digital package costs £100 plus VAT.

This package provides you with everything you need to make the project – and the performance day – a success. This includes:
