Overnewton Takes The Stage in Opera Australia’s Carmen

Nov 21, 2025 4:24 AM

Year 6 student Miles and clarinet teacher Robin Henry are sharing the spotlight in Opera Australia’s Melbourne season of Carmen at the Regent Theatre. 

Miles has secured a coveted and highly sought-after role in the Children’s Chorus following Opera Australia’s competitive audition process – an incredible achievement for this strong, committed and multi-talented Performing Arts student. 

A familiar face in Overnewton’s own productions, Miles has held principal roles in our recent Year 5/6 musicals, Aladdin (2024) and Frozen (2025). He is also the lead singer of The Froggy Band in our Rock Band Program, a member of the 5/6 Choir, and plays trombone in the Burrito Band. 

Meanwhile, Robin brings his exceptional musicianship to the orchestra for this celebrated production of Carmen. 

A huge congratulations to both Miles and Robin on this remarkable accomplishment!

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
