The Retired Staff Association (RSA) awards bursaries each year for projects in the creative and performing arts.

A presentation ceremony took place at the end of last year where successful applicants were presented with cheques and certificates.

Student Claire Trevien won a bursary to assist with the production of her translation of a little-known comedy by Moliere – Les Precieuses Ridicules.

Assistant MPA Programme Manager and part-time student Anna Bolton was also awarded a bursary to help with co-ordinating a group of current students and Warwick graduates in a performance of opera highlights to be held at the Royal Leamington Spa Pump Rooms on 8 March.

The concert will include popular arias and ensembles from The Magic Flute, Don Giovanni, Rigoletto, Falstaff and other famous operas and, thanks to the support of the University Music Centre, several ensemble numbers will be directed by renowned opera director Matthias Janser who has worked for Opera North, Holland Park Opera and BAC Opera.
