Ever since its inception some five years ago, La Vie en Rose ( French- literally meaning Life in Pink ) has been promoting Western classical ( opera) and musical theatre ( Broadway).
Opera is a play in which the actors (opera singers) sing the words to music; works of this kind are performed as entertainment.
Broadway music is a genre of music associated with American musical theatre. It’s known for its catchy melodies and often includes elements of jazz, blues, and gospel music.
“Musical theatres tell stories that can evoke a range of emotions, such as love, humour, anger, and sadness. I got an opportunity to see such a great musical theatre performance by the students of La Vie en Rose. It’s the first of its kind in Steel City, ” commented an audience.
Music studio La Vie en rose is run by a couple Ashwin Sahay and his wife Camille, who hails from France. The couple groom students on Western classical (Opera) and musical theatrics. The music studio also provides scholarship facilities to talented artists.
Ashwin Sahay was in all praise for the student performers. “We will continue to hold such shows in future in order to make opera and Broadway popular here,” said Sahay.
