Today we had a most marvellous tour of QPAC. Our Tour Guide’s knowledge of behind the scenes was amazing and it gave us all a great insight in to the running of a production and what actually happens behind the scenes. We had the most wonderful one and a half hours with Amanda, our guide. Our most sincere thanks for a truly great morning.
