Description

Ariel, a curious and adventurous young mermaid, is fascinated by the human world above the sea. She dreams of life on land and is often at odds with her father, King Triton, who disapproves of her fascination. After rescuing Prince Eric from a shipwreck, Ariel falls in love with him and longs to be part of his world.

In desperation, Ariel makes a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula: she trades her voice for human legs, with the condition that if Eric does not kiss her within three days, she will revert to a mermaid and become Ursula’s slave. Ariel, now human, enjoys her new life above the surface, but struggles to communicate with Eric, who is captivated by her despite her silence. Meanwhile, Ursula plots to sabotage Ariel’s chances, using her henchmen, Flotsam and Jetsam, to prevent Ariel from kissing Eric.

As the deadline approaches, Ariel’s father, King Triton, learns of the deal and confronts Ursula. After a fierce battle, Ariel regains her voice and defeats Ursula, destroying the sea witch’s magic. With the curse broken, King Triton, realizing his daughter’s love for Eric, restores her human form, and Ariel’s dream of living in the human world is fulfilled.

Winnipeg Youth Chorus

The Winnipeg Youth Chorus Inc. (WYC) strives to provide an opportunity for young singers to develop:  choral, choreography, dramatic, and performance skills.

 

We provide a variety of performance opportunities for the singers from performances within Winnipeg to performances outside of Canada, recording, special small group performances, and many other opportunities.

 

Most importantly, the WYC is here to provide a positive experience for singers to develop their self-concept and self-esteem. Friendships, family involvement, dedication, and hard work are always stressed within a structure that is always caring but also demanding in terms of time, energy, drive, and commitment.

 

The WYC is flexible and innovative in style believing that choral excellence is achieved through proper training, hard work, and instilling within the members a love for what they do, an enthusiasm for performance, and pursuit of excellence.
