Well Done to All Our Auditioning Pupils!

A huge shoutout to all our talented pupils who auditioned. We are so proud of each and every one of you and hope you enjoyed the experience. You are all stars! ⭐

What a fantastic evening for some of our BSPA pupils, who had the incredible opportunity to perform at the prestigious World Luxury Goods Awards at Galgorm Resort!

A huge thank you to @petercorryproductions_ for inviting us to be part of this wonderful event alongside so many talented performers.

Our pupils had an amazing time and, as always, made us incredibly proud with their performances, receiving a fantastic response from the guests.

What an unforgettable week for three of our talented BSPA pupils—Luca, Lucy, and Max—who joined the cast of the National Theatre’s production of An Inspector Calls at the Grand Opera House!

A huge thank you to the cast and backstage team for making Luca, Lucy, Max, and the entire ensemble feel so welcome. It’s been an incredible experience, and we couldn’t be more proud of them.

We wish you all the best for the final two shows tomorrow—what a journey it’s been!

Last year, we were excited to offer our students the Step Up to the Microphone workshop, designed to teach essential techniques for singing with a microphone and recording in a professional studio environment.

The completed tracks were so impressive that we decided to take it a step further, offering each student the opportunity to create a video to accompany their recordings. This mash-up of their performances showcases their incredible talent, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

A huge thank you to our Director, Peter Corry, and Engineer, Lloyd Scates, for their inspiration, dedication, and hard work. And of course, a massive congratulations to the talented students: Sophie, Amelia, Blanaid, Emma, Sophia, and Cadhla. You’ve made us incredibly proud!

What an unforgettable evening at the Les Misérables Arena Spectacular! It was fantastic to see so many BSPA pupils and parents in the audience, all coming together to enjoy such an extraordinary performance.

The show was a true spectacle, featuring a stellar cast and orchestra. It was especially exciting for our pupils to see our patron, @killiandonnelly1984, in the iconic role of Jean Valjean. His performance was filled with such passion, and “Bring Him Home” was, personally, one of the evening’s highlights.

Bradley Jaden’s portrayal of Javert was nothing short of incredible, with his portrayal of Javert’s final moments—so full of anguish and emotion—leaving a lasting impact.

Two other standout performances included Éponine, whose rendition of “On My Own” was simply breathtaking, and the fabulous Bonnie Langford, whose legendary presence on stage was an absolute joy to watch.

We were also thrilled to see Raymond Walsh in the cast. It was wonderful to hear that familiar Belfast twang in Les Misérables—a local star shining on such a grand stage!

We hope you all enjoyed the show as much as we did. We’d love to hear about your favourite moments!

We’ve been bursting with excitement, but we’ve had to keep a secret—until now! We’re beyond thrilled to announce that our talented BSPA Lisburn AM pupil, David, has landed an incredible role in the upcoming BBC adaptation of Lord of the Flies. After a rigorous audition process and countless trips to London, David has been cast as Piggy in this highly anticipated series, adapted by Jack Thorne and directed by Marc Munden.

David’s journey took him all the way to Malaysia for six months of filming this summer, and we hear he’s absolutely rocking it—or as David would say, he’s “living his best life.” The professional team on set has been nothing short of impressed with his stamina (especially given the intense heat!), his professionalism, and, of course, his infectious charm that lights up any room. Those of us who know David aren’t surprised; his training has equipped him to handle every challenge with grace, and he’s embracing this opportunity with everything he’s got.

Director Marc Munden shared his thoughts on the series:
“This iconic novel of class, conflict, and tender male friendship has never been more relevant. It’s a real privilege to be working with Jack Thorne once again, the wonderful cast of young actors we’ve assembled, and the brilliant team at Eleven on this beautifully fresh adaptation.”

We couldn’t be prouder of David and his amazing achievements. At BSPA, we’re thrilled to watch him grow into this exciting new chapter of his career, and we can’t wait to share more about his incredible experiences in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates!
